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.

Like a big HG IBO kit

This was an interesting build. It feels a lot like a bigger, more solid HG IBO kit. I mean, you can pick it up and shake it like a blocked up salt shaker and it won't budge. The articulation is pretty good too. The elbows rotate more than 90 degrees, it's knees allow it to kick it's own rear waist armor, and it can almost do the splits without using the drop-down joint in the waist. The shoulder armor does limit the arms upward rotation out to the side, but they still make it more than 90 degrees before it interferes.

There isn't really much to dislike about the quality of the build. My biggest gripes, however, are the lack of head movement, and the lack of extra stuff.

The neck is a stationary ball joint, which would be fine except that the underside of the head has a large sort of box that slots almost perfectly into the chest, so there is literally zero side to side movement of the head. Or tilting side to side for that matter. The head can be pulled upwards, however, to allow some up and down rotation.

The lack of any real extras is also a bit of a downside. The only options you have are open or closed hands. The weapon you get with it is really nice, with a detachable magazine and underbarrel grenade launcher (at least I think that's what it is), but again, that's all you get.

You also a very small sticker sheet with it for the eye camera. I haven't seen the anime that the Jo Hound comes from yet, but my understanding is that there is a war happening in it. You kind of need insignias or symbols with which to identify combatants so you don't shoot your own guys, right?

In all, I think this a rather nice kit with an interesting design, great articulation and solid build quality. I'm definitely going to have a look at some of the other kits from this series.
