    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

    What's the difference between this "Alphonse Special" and a regular 1/60 AV-98 Ingram model kit?

    This is a key question! The "Alphonse Special" refers to a specific variant of the AV-98 Ingram with unique features, possibly including additional weaponry or cosmetic differences. The product description or included manuals should clarify these details compared to a standard Ingram model.

    Does this 1/60 Alphonse Special model come with pilot figures?

    While some Ingram model kits include pilot figures, information might vary depending on the specific release of the "Alphonse Special." Check the product description or box contents to confirm if pilot figures are included.

    I see it's pre-colored, but can I still paint the Alphonse Special?

    Yes! Although the 1/60 Alphonse Special comes in pre-colored plastic, you can definitely customize it further with paint (not included) to create a unique look or add extra weathering effects.

    How complex is this model kit to build?

    The complexity might vary slightly depending on the manufacturer. However, 1/60 scale models typically offer a good balance between detail and manageability. This means it should be a step up from beginner models but still achievable for most hobbyists with some experience.

    Are there any extra accessories included with the Alphonse Special model?

    The 1/60 Alphonse Special might come with additional equipment or features besides the standard Ingram weaponry. Check the product description or box contents for details on any special inclusions like unique weapons or display bases.
