Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.
Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Gundam series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Gundam kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.
Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.
The 1/144 HGBF Gundam Exia Dark Matter features a sleek and mysterious design that is both visually appealing and functional. Its dark color scheme, sharp lines, and intricate details give it a menacing and sophisticated appearance, making it a popular choice among Gunpla enthusiasts.
The Gundam Exia Dark Matter boasts exceptional articulation, allowing for a wide range of dynamic poses and action-packed scenes. Its ball-jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and fingers enable various stances and movements, making it perfect for recreating memorable scenes from the Gundam Build Fighters anime series or creating original poses to showcase its dynamic capabilities.
The 1/144 HGBF Gundam Exia Dark Matter comes equipped with a variety of weapons for both close-quarters and ranged combat. It includes a beam saber, a GN Sword, a GN Shield, and a GN Blade. The GN Drive to activate the Trans-Am Booster is also included, allowing for enhanced power and mobility in close-quarters combat.
The 1/144 HGBF Gundam Exia Dark Matter model kit is considered an intermediate-level kit, making it suitable for modelers with some experience in assembling Gunpla models. The parts are snap-fit, meaning no glue is required, but the instructions may be somewhat complex and require careful attention to detail.
The build time for the 1/144 HGBF Gundam Exia Dark Matter model kit varies depending on the modeler's experience and pace. For experienced modelers, the kit can be assembled in as little as 2-3 hours. However, beginners may take 3-4 hours or more to carefully assemble and finish the kit.
