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.
Not at all! The 1/144 HG Zaku II uses the same beginner-friendly snap-fit system as other HG kits. Click-by-click, you'll have this Zeon icon wielding its machine gun in no time. It's a perfect entry point into the world of Gunpla.
The articulation is decent! You can achieve dynamic poses with the arms, legs, and head, letting you recreate iconic Zaku stances and attacks. It might not be the most flexible, but it allows for plenty of expressive display options.
Absolutely! Decals add unique markings, hand-painting brings weathering effects or custom details, you can even swap weapons with other HG kits. This Zaku is your canvas! Unleash your creativity and make it your own Zeon warrior.
That depends! The basic version is a great starting point, while others like the Origin or Char's Zaku offer additional details and weapons. Consider your budget, skill level, and desired look when making your choice.
Remember, the HG Zaku II is a classic for a reason! It's a fun, affordable build that allows you to experience the joy of Gunpla firsthand. Don't overthink it, grab your tools, and start clicking! Your shelf will thank you for it.
