Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED

Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.

No Cement Required

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.

No Painting Required

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the "Anime Ver." and the "Manga Ver." of this model kit?

While both versions of the kit feature the Zaku II and Big Gun from "Gundam Thunderbolt," the "Anime Ver." boasts a slightly different color scheme compared to the "Manga Ver." The anime version features a darker green and a more muted tone overall, aiming to be a more accurate representation of the mobile suit's color as it appeared in the anime series.

Is this model kit difficult to build?

Classified as a High Grade (HG) kit, it's suitable for both beginners and experienced builders. Snap-fit assembly and pre-colored parts make the build process straightforward and enjoyable. However, the sheer size of the Big Gun might require some additional attention and patience during construction.

How detailed is the model kit?

Despite its HG classification, the kit retains a good level of detail. Panel lines and vents are present throughout the Zaku II and Big Gun, adding depth and realism to the models. Additionally, the pre-colored parts accurately represent the anime's color scheme.

Does the kit come with any weapons besides the Big Gun?

Yes, the kit includes the iconic Heat Hawk, a staple weapon for the Zaku II. Additionally, some versions might include a Beam Rifle for further customization and display options.

Can I pose the Zaku II with the Big Gun equipped?

While the Zaku II can be posed in various positions, the massive Big Gun might limit some poses due to its weight and size. However, the kit offers some flexibility in positioning the gun, allowing for dynamic and impactful displays.
