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.
While the basic design of the Zaku 06R remains the same, the kit allows you to choose between the personalized configurations used by pilots Gaia and Mash. These differences include: Shoulder shields: Gaia's Zaku 06R features a distinctive spiked shoulder shield, while Mash's version has a standard shield. Leg thrusters: Gaia's Zaku 06R has additional thruster units on the legs, reflecting its focus on mobility. Head decals: Optional decals are included for both Gaia and Mash's personal markings on the head.
Classified as High Grade (HG), the kit is suitable for both beginners and experienced builders. It features snap-fit assembly and pre-colored parts, making the build process straightforward and enjoyable.
Despite its HG classification, the kit retains a good level of detail. Panel lines and vents are present throughout the Zaku 06R, adding depth and realism to the model. Additionally, the pre-colored parts accurately represent both the Gaia and Mash custom color schemes.
The kit includes a variety of weapons for both close-quarters and ranged combat: Heat Hawk: The iconic Zaku weapon for close-quarters combat. Anti-Ship Rifle: A powerful beam weapon for devastating attacks. Bazooka Type A2: A classic Zaku weapon for efficient firepower. Machine Gun: A versatile weapon for ranged combat. Spare ammo magazines: For reloading the Bazooka.
Yes, the kit features articulated joints that allow for a wide range of poses. You can recreate action scenes from "Mobile Suit Gundam The Origin" or pose the Zaku 06R in dynamic stances of your own.
