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

Does this Armor Fit My Other 30MM Models, or Just PORTANOVA?

This option armor set is specifically designed for the PORTANOVA model. While some parts might be compatible with other kits, it won't offer the full close-fighting functionality unless used with PORTANOVA.

Is the Sand Yellow Pre-Painted, or Can I Customize it?

The armor comes pre-painted in a striking sand yellow, but customization is definitely encouraged! Experiment with additional paint, decals, or weathering effects to make your close-combat PORTANOVA truly unique.

How Does the Sand Yellow Armor Enhance PORTANOVA's Fighting Style?

This set focuses on aggressive melee combat. It features reinforced limbs, sharp claws and blades, and an optional spiked shoulder armor, transforming PORTANOVA into a whirlwind of sand-colored fury.

Can I Still Use PORTANOVA's Existing Weapons with the Armor?

Absolutely! The close-fighting armor is designed to work seamlessly with PORTANOVA's standard weapons like its beam saber and rifle. You can easily switch between ranged and close-quarters combat for tactical flexibility.

Is this Upgrade Just for Display, or Can it Take a Punch?

Both! The pre-painted sand yellow armor with its detailed blades and spikes looks fantastic on display, adding a visually striking and aggressive edge to your PORTANOVA model. But don't let the bright color fool you – this upgrade unleashes PORTANOVA's inner brawler, ready to dominate the battlefield in a storm of sand-colored fury.
