Assembly Guide

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How poseable is the kit?

The HGUC Bawoo features decent articulation for its age. It has ball joints at the shoulders, elbows, and knees, allowing for a variety of poses. The waist also has some articulation, and the legs can spread quite far apart. However, the ankles have limited movement, and the mono-eye does not move.

How complex is the build?

The HGUC Bawoo is a relatively simple kit to build, making it suitable for beginners. The parts are well-molded and fit together well. There are a few small polycaps used for articulation, but they are easy to install. The instructions are clear and concise, and the entire build process can be completed in a few hours.

Does the kit come with any accessories?

The HGUC Bawoo comes with a handful of accessories, including: A Beam Rifle A Beam Saber Two Shield parts (one for each arm) Two Hand Beam Cannons

How is the color separation?

The color separation on the HGUC Bawoo is good, but not perfect. Some parts will require painting to achieve the show-accurate look. However, the overall color scheme is well-represented, and the kit looks good even without any additional paintwork.

Are there any common issues with the kit?

The HGUC Bawoo is a relatively old kit, so there are a few minor issues to be aware of. The most common issue is that the shoulder joints can be a bit loose. This can be fixed with a little bit of glue or putty. Additionally, some of the parts may not be perfectly flush, requiring some minor sanding.
