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

The Gundam Option Parts Set Gunpla 01 (Aile Striker) only includes the Aile Striker backpack, Beam Boomerangs, Beam Saber, and additional joint parts. The Strike Gundam model itself is sold separately.

Will this Aile Striker work with any Strike Gundam model, or is it specific to a certain kit?

The Gundam Option Parts Set Gunpla 01 (Aile Striker) boasts high compatibility! While designed for the Entry Grade Strike Gundam, the included joint parts allow it to be used with most High Grade (HG) Strike Gundam models due to the use of standardized connection points.

Can I use the weapons from the Aile Striker with other Gundam models?

The Beam Boomerangs and Beam Saber included in the Aile Striker set are designed for use with the Strike Gundam's hands. However, some Gundam models might have compatible hand connections allowing you to equip them with these weapons.

Is this a difficult model kit to build?

The Gundam Option Parts Set Gunpla 01 (Aile Striker) is generally considered a beginner-friendly kit. It features snap-fit parts that require no glue and comes with clear instructions for easy assembly.

Are there any other weapon sets available for the Strike Gundam?

Absolutely! The beauty of the Gundam Option Parts System is its modularity.
