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.
This version rocks vibrant purple armor, showcasing Sumire's bold and energetic personality. Expect sharper lines, dynamic headpiece details, and possibly the inclusion of her signature Spear weapon (depending on the specific release).
The purple armor is the main visual difference, but some versions might include additional parts like the Spear, optional hands for wielding it, or even interchangeable headpieces for diverse expressions. Be sure to check the product description for specifics.
Absolutely! The HG line prioritizes articulation, and this Kouba-Kai should be no different. Unleash Sumire's lightning-fast attacks and daring maneuvers with flexible limbs and dynamic posing options.
The purple armor base is pre-painted, but other parts might be unpainted, encouraging your creativity. Add weathering, decals, or further paintwork to personalize the Kouba-Kai and make it a true reflection of Sumire's spirit.
Definitely! Owning a piece of Sumire's iconic mech is a dream come true for any dedicated fan. The vibrant coloring, poseability, and potential for customization make it a fun and rewarding build, perfect for display or epic battles with other Sakura Wars or mecha kits.
