Bandai 1/100 MGEX Unicorn Gundam Ver Ka
The model kit was really nice the one issue I had is that the right arm was a bit too loose for liking
Great price for a great pair of tweezers.

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 RX-105 Xi Gundam stands out for its impressive stability, intricate detailing, versatile armaments, and the ability to transform between 'MS form' and 'Flight form,' offering an engaging and unique building experience.
While it's recommended for intermediate to advanced builders due to its complexity, anyone can enjoy building the RX-105 Xi Gundam with patience and enthusiasm.
Assembling the wings and ensuring the transformation mechanism works smoothly can be a intricate task. However, they add to the model's realism and appeal.
While the RX-105 Xi Gundam includes its primary armaments, some builders enjoy customising with additional decals and paintwork to make it even more unique.
A dynamic flight stand can accentuate the 'Flight form,' allowing you to display the RX-105 Xi Gundam mid-transformation for an eye-catching effect."
