Bandai Full Mechanics 1/48 Mailes Kenbu Zan

The scale of these models (1/48) when fully assembled is equal in scale  to a 1/100 Gundam.

The main character of the second part of "Kyoukai Senki," MAILeS Kenbu ZAN, has joined Bandai's FULL Mechanics model-kit lineup! This robot features a mechanical design that makes it not only highly efficient in battle, but also easy to maintain and highly durable. It comes with its large super-heated combat long sword, which can be placed on the weapons rack on its back. The cannon on its arm can be removed, and the chest structure that mimics that of the human body reproduces the expansion and contraction movement. The cockpit can be opened and closed. Metallic parts reproduce the distinctive look of its joints, and the metallic 3D seals reproduce the texture of the sensor molds on its limbs!

Kit Includes:

  • Super heat-shaking battle long sword
  • 40mm arm cannon
  • Weapon rack
  • Interchangeable hands: flat hands (left and right), weapon-holding hands (left and right)
  • Pilot figure (x2 types)
  • Metallic 3D stickers
  • Marking stickers

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

How big is the finished model?

The 1/48 FULL Mechanics MAILeS Kenbu ZAN stands tall at an impressive almost 9 inches (23cm) when fully assembled. This larger scale captures the imposing presence of the mecha and allows for stunningly detailed features.

Is it pre-painted or do I need to paint it myself?

This model kit comes unpainted, allowing you to customize it with your own colors and weathering effects. However, Bandai provides metallic parts that replicate the mecha's glossy joints and details, offering a beautiful base to build upon.

How poseable is the Kenbu ZAN?

The FULL Mechanics Kenbu ZAN features an articulated frame with joints in the shoulders, elbows, wrists, legs, ankles, and even the cockpit hatch. This allows you to recreate a wide range of dynamic poses from the "Kyoukai Senki" anime, such as wielding the super-heated combat long sword or taking a defensive stance.

What's the difficulty level for assembly?

This model kit is rated for experienced modelers. While the snap-fit parts make it easier than glue-based kits, it still requires patience and dexterity to put together the intricate details, armor pieces, and weapon. If you're a beginner, it's recommended to start with a simpler Bandai kit before tackling this complex mecha.

Where can I buy the 1/48 FULL Mechanics MAILeS Kenbu ZAN?

You can find this model kit at various online retailers specializing in anime merchandise and hobby supplies, such as Amazon, HobbyLink Japan, and BigBadToyStore. The price may vary depending on the retailer and availability, but it generally ranges from $40 to $50 USD.
