Arrived in good condition
Great and easy build, only issue I had with it was the shoulder pads when rotating the arms. Cement it should fix the issue.

Read MoreGunpla (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 Mrs Loheng-Rinko features a stylish and feminine design, inspired by the original Mrs. Loheng-Rink character from the Gundam Build Fighters anime series. Its graceful lines, intricate details, and elegant color scheme give it a sophisticated and charming appearance. The distinctive backpack with its flowing ribbons and ornate details further enhances its stylish aesthetic, making it a popular choice among Gunpla enthusiasts who enjoy unique and eye-catching mobile suits.
The Mrs Loheng-Rinko boasts decent articulation, allowing for a variety of poses and expressive movements. Its ball-jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and ankles enable various stances and gestures, making it suitable for recreating memorable scenes from the Gundam Build Fighters anime series or creating original poses to showcase its elegance and charm. While not as extensive as some other Gunpla models, its articulation is sufficient for capturing the graceful movements and expressive poses that characterize the Mrs Loheng-Rink character.
The Mrs Loheng-Rinko comes equipped with a pair of Lohengrin cannons, which can be transformed into beam sabers for close-quarters combat. Additionally, it includes a pair of Gottfried Mk.71 beam rifles, providing both close-quarters and ranged combat options. These weapons, while not as extensive as some other Gunpla models, allow modelers to recreate the Mrs Loheng-Rink character's signature fighting style, which emphasizes agility and precise strikes.
The 1/144 HGBF Mrs Loheng-Rinko 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 assembly process may require more patience and attention to detail compared to beginner-level kits, but it is still manageable for modelers with some experience.
The build time for the 1/144 HGBF Mrs Loheng-Rinko 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. The more intricate details and slightly more complex assembly process may extend the build time compared to some beginner-level kits, but the end result is a rewarding and visually stunning model.
