Thanks for the nice deal.. I'm so lucky that I got the last one I think till next transaction

Attention all Gundam enthusiasts! The Universal Century (UC) timeline is a continually unfolding celebration of Gundam excellence. Born with the first anime series, UC introduces the legendary RX-78-2 Gundam.

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.
This set features not just the pre-painted RX-79(G) Gundam in its Earth Federation ground colors, but also two Hover Trucks and four non-painted Earth Federation soldiers. It's a perfect package for recreating epic ground battles!
The Gundam comes pre-painted in green, gray, and yellow, ready for immediate display. However, experienced builders can add custom weathering, panel lines, or even experiment with different shades to personalize their Ground Gundam.
The Gundam boasts a rail cannon (two included!), shield, two interchangeable GM heads, and five optional hands. The soldiers each come with rifles, adding to the diorama possibilities.
This set features mostly snap-fit parts, making it ideal for beginners and younger builders. While offering dynamic posing options for the Gundam, the articulation complexity is moderate.
The Hover Trucks add a dynamic element to your display and allow you to pose the soldiers alongside the Gundam for a truly immersive ground war scene. This set shines for those who enjoy creating dioramas and action-oriented displays.
