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.
The Powered GM Cardigan stands out with its robust and armored design, showcasing its role as a support mobile suit. It features impressive firepower and versatility, making it a formidable opponent in battle. Additionally, its customization options allow for personalization and creative display possibilities.
Despite its complex design, the High Grade (HG) classification makes it accessible to both beginners and experienced builders. Snap-fit assembly simplifies the process, while pre-colored parts minimize the need for painting. However, the sheer number of parts and detailed armor plates may require more patience and attention to detail compared to other HG kits.
The kit boasts an impressive arsenal and equipment: Large Beam Rifle: A high-powered weapon for ranged attacks. Beam Saber: The iconic close-quarters combat weapon. Shield: Provides defense against beam and physical attacks. Backpack Unit: Houses the Beam Rifle and includes additional thrusters for enhanced mobility. Optional Parts: Allow you to customize the Cardigan's appearance, such as deploying additional armor plates or attaching a support stand.
Yes, the kit features various connection points that allow for compatibility with other Gunpla kits in the 1/144 scale range. This enables creative display options and allows you to recreate iconic scenes or build your own custom mobile suit configurations.
Several variations exist, each offering unique features and color schemes: 1/144 HGBF Powered GM Cardigan Full Weapon Set: Includes additional weapons and accessories for expanded combat capabilities. 1/144 HGBF Powered GM Cardigan Team Tri Fighters Colors: Features a unique color scheme based on the Team Tri Fighters anime series.
