Bandai 1/100 MGEX Unicorn Gundam Ver Ka
The model kit was really nice the one issue I had is that the right arm was a bit too loose for liking
Great price for a great pair of tweezers.

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.

Its ball-jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and ankles enable various stances and movements, making it suitable for recreating memorable scenes from the Gundam Build Fighters anime series or creating original poses to showcase its agility and combat prowess.
The Lightning Gundam comes equipped with a basic but effective armament consisting of a beam rifle, a shield, and a beam saber. While it may not have the most extensive arsenal, these weapons allow for basic close-quarters combat and defense, making it a suitable opponent for other Gunpla models.
