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

This GM looks pumped! What's with all the extra armor and boosters?

This isn't your average GM! The Powered GM packs a punch with its reinforced armor, powerful backpack boosters, and additional beam sabers. It's a land-based powerhouse ready to dominate your shelf.

Does all that extra stuff make it harder to build?

Not at all! The Powered GM still uses the same beginner-friendly snap-fit construction as other HGUC kits. The extra parts might take a bit longer, but the clear instructions guide you through every step, making it a breeze even for newcomers.

Can it pose dynamically with all that armor and boosters?

While the Powered GM favors a grounded stance due to its weight, it still has decent articulation in its arms and legs. You can raise its beam sabers for a menacing pose, lower them for a more stable stance, or even have it charge forward with boosters blazing!

The pre-shaded blue and gray looks cool, but can I customize it further?

Absolutely! The pre-shading highlights the Powered GM's aggressive details, but it's just the canvas for your creativity. Add decals or stickers for unique markings, hand-paint weathering effects or battle damage, or even swap weapons with other HGUC kits. Make this Powered GM your own!

Is this Powered GM worth getting even if I have other GMs?

If you love GMs and want something with a bit more firepower, the Powered GM is definitely worth it. Its unique design, enhanced mobility, and customization options make it a standout addition to any Gunpla collection. Plus, it's a fun way to explore a different side of the classic GM!
