Arrived in good condition
Great and easy build, only issue I had with it was the shoulder pads when rotating the arms. Cement it should fix the issue.

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.
The Glacier version primarily differs in its: Color scheme: Features a striking purple and black color scheme, contrasting the original white color. Additional parts: Includes clear blue parts for the wings and other accents, creating a unique aesthetic. Weaponry: May come with different weapons or variations, depending on the specific kit purchased.
The build difficulty remains similar to the original. It utilizes snap-fit technology and pre-colored parts, making it accessible to beginners. The additional clear parts might require slightly more careful handling during assembly.
The clear blue parts are generally well-received by fans. They add a distinct visual element, highlighting the design and enhancing the futuristic feel. The clear parts also allow for light to shine through, creating a dynamic effect.
Yes, the parts are generally compatible and can be used for kitbashing and customization. This allows you to mix and match colors, weapons, and other elements to create a truly unique Gundam model.
Currently, no official variations exist. However, the kit's design offers potential for creative modifications and custom builds, allowing fans to personalize the Transient Gundam Glacier to their own preferences.
