Key features

Asymmetric Design with Rustic Armour: The Gundam Vual's design stands out due to its asymmetrically armoured appearance, particularly on its shoulders and chest. This rugged and worn-down look is emblematic of its backstory, signifying a machine that's seen intense battles and been subject to modifications over time.
Versatile Armament: The Gundam Vual is equipped with a variety of weapons that showcase its combat versatility. One of its standout armaments is the "Bastard Chopper," a large, imposing axe-like weapon that reinforces the mobile suit's raw power and aggressiveness. Additionally, the suit carries a modified rifle for ranged attacks and a uniquely designed shield, allowing it to fend off adversaries effectively.
Unique Colour Scheme and Aesthetics: Contrary to the common bright colour schemes seen in many Gundams, Vual sports a more muted palette, dominated by grays and dark blues. This, combined with its rough and battered appearance, lends the Gundam a rogue, anti-hero vibe, setting it apart from the mainline Gundams in the series.

The Bandai 1/144 HGIBO Gundam Vual offers a fresh and unique look for Gunpla builders who appreciate a design that strays from the traditional. It's an excellent choice for fans of the "Iron-Blooded Orphans" universe who are looking for a model with a bit of a darker edge.

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED

Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.

No Cement Required

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.

No Painting Required

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.
