Arrived in good condition
Great and easy build, only issue I had with it was the shoulder pads when rotating the arms. Cement it should fix the issue.

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 figure is typically 1/35 scale, making it significantly smaller than the 1/144 Vayeate model itself. It fits inside the cockpit and adds a nice human element to the display.
Typically, yes! The figure should come pre-painted with basic details and might have some articulation in the arms and head. However, the level of detail and articulation can vary depending on the specific release.
It depends on the version! Some Vayeate kits might have transformation capabilities, extra weapon options, or specific detailing based on its appearance in different Gundam Wing media. Be sure to check the product description for details.
The complexity can vary depending on the version and your personal experience. Some Vayeate kits are considered "No Grade" or lower complexity, making them suitable for beginners.
Definitely! The Vayeate is a unique and iconic mobile suit, and having a model with a included figure adds to the display value. Plus, the customization options (depending on the version) can appeal to both beginners and experienced modellers.
