Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
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.
No Cement Required

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.

No Painting Required

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

How big is the finished model?

Prepare to be impressed! The 1/48 Aestivalis stands tall at a majestic 225mm (almost 9 inches) when completed. This impressive size captures the Gundam Frame's elegance and allows for intricate detailing, making it a centerpiece for any mecha collection.

Is it easy to build?

The kit is rated as "Intermediate," suitable for both beginners with some prior experience and experienced modelers. It's snap-fit and glue-less, but the size and numerous parts require patience and attention to detail. Beginners might find it challenging, but experienced builders will appreciate the complexity and customization options.

Does it come pre-painted, or do I need to paint it myself?

It comes in pre-colored plastic with some parts molded in different colors, providing a good base for beginners. However, for the full anime aesthetics and personalized touches, paintwork is recommended. This lets you add weathering effects and create your own unique Aestivalis, but requires additional materials and some painting skills.

What kind of articulation does it have?

Get ready for dynamic poses! The Aestivalis boasts impressive polycap joint articulation throughout its body. You can freely pose its arms, legs, wings, and even GN Drives for breathtaking action scenes. Recreate iconic flight maneuvers or design your own battles with this highly mobile Gundam Frame.

What weapons and accessories are included?

The Aestivalis is ready for action! The kit comes with: Rapid Rifle: Its signature long-range weapon adds firepower and tactical options to your displays. Field Lancer: A powerful melee weapon for close-quarters encounters, letting you recreate intense combat moments. Immediate Knife: A smaller blade for surprise attacks and tactical versatility. Assault Pit: This detachable platform expands your display possibilities and adds to the Aestivalis' imposing presence.
