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 Cherudim Gundam stands out with its innovative GN Drive Tau technology, granting it exceptional mobility and control over its numerous armaments. Additionally, its modular design allows for customization and transformation into various forms, making it a versatile mobile suit in combat.
Despite its complex design, the HG classification makes it manageable for both beginners and experienced builders. Snap-fit assembly minimizes the need for tools, while pre-colored parts simplify the process. However, the sheer number of parts may require more patience and attention to detail compared to other HG kits.
The kit includes an impressive arsenal: GN Beam Rifle: A high-powered beam weapon for ranged attacks. GN Beam Saber: The iconic close-quarters combat weapon. GN Shield: Provides defense against beam and physical attacks. GN Submachine Guns: Mounted on the legs for additional firepower. GN Bazooka: A powerful weapon for heavy assault. GN Sword II: A transformable weapon serving as a melee weapon and beam rifle. GN Shield Bits: Detachable shields that can be used for both offense and defense.
Yes, the kit allows you to build and display the Cherudim in three distinct forms: Mobile Suit Mode: The standard form for balanced combat and maneuverability. Flight Mode: Wings unfold for aerial combat and high-speed travel. High Mobility Mode: The shield bits detach and form additional thrusters for extreme agility and speed.
Several variations exist, each with unique features and color schemes: 1/144 HG Cherudim Gundam GNHW/R: Features additional Beam Saber and rifle parts for expanded combat options. 1/144 HG Cherudim Gundam Saga Type.G: A special edition with a unique color scheme and a custom GN Sword.
