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.
This set provides additional weaponry and accessories for customizing and enhancing your 1/144 High Grade Gunpla models. It allows you to create unique and powerful configurations for your Gunpla, adding variety and excitement to your collection or Gunpla battles.
The set includes a diverse array of weapons, including: Radome Yoyo: A spinning shield weapon with offensive and defensive capabilities. Battling Ram: A heavy blunt weapon for devastating melee attacks. Shield Nipper: A shield that doubles as a powerful cutting weapon. Spray Gun: A weapon that shoots paint or other materials for creative combat strategies. Rail Gun: A long-range weapon for precise and powerful attacks. Scissor Sword: A sword with two blades that can be opened and closed for maneuverable attacks.
While the set is primarily intended for 1/144 HG Gunpla models, its versatility allows for some adaptation to other Gunpla kits within the same scale range. However, some weapons might require modifications to fit specific models or may not be aesthetically compatible.
No, the set is designed for snap-fit assembly, so no glue is needed. Basic hobby tools like tweezers and cutters might be helpful, but are not essential for putting together the weapon set.
Yes, the set is relatively straightforward to assemble, even for beginners. The pre-colored parts and snap-fit design eliminate the need for painting or complex construction techniques. However, the variety of pieces and potential for customization may be slightly more challenging than basic HG kits.
