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.
The 1/144 RG RX-78 GP01 Full Burner is a Real Grade (RG) kit, known for its high level of detail and complexity. While it's not recommended for absolute beginners, it's a great fit for hobbyists with some experience looking for a challenging and rewarding build.
The RG RX-78 GP01 Full Burner's signature backpack with the vernier thrusters (the Full Burner effect) is part of the kit. You'll build it yourself using the provided runners (plastic sprues).
No, the RG RX-78 GP01 Full Burner is specifically the Full Burner variant and doesn't have the transformation functionality of the standard RX-78 Gundam.
While the RG RX-78 GP01 Full Burner looks fantastic unpainted, achieving a display-ready finish like the promotional photos typically involves painting and detailing. The specific paints and tools required depend on your desired outcome, but generally, model kit enthusiasts use acrylic paints, hobby cutters, sanding tools, and potentially even detailing markers or weathering powders.
The availability of the RG RX-78 GP01 Full Burner can vary depending on the retailer. It's not typically a limited edition, but it might go in and out of stock due to its popularity.
