Arrived in good condition
Great and easy build, only issue I had with it was the shoulder pads when rotating the arms. Cement it should fix the issue.

Read MoreGunpla (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.
The set features two Karakrum-class ships, roughly doubling the size and display potential compared to the single ship. While the price is naturally higher, many collectors find the value justified for the expanded fleet and additional customization options.
The set typically includes one green ship and one white ship, representing Admiral Maser's personal vessel. This adds variety and visual interest to your display.
Absolutely! The adjustable stands included with each ship allow you to create dynamic formations and recreate epic fleet maneuvers. Additionally, the kit's size and scale make it perfect for combining with other Mecha Collection models, building a miniature space battle scene of your own.
The process and difficulty remain the same as the single ship kit. Snap-fit parts and clear instructions make it perfect for beginners wanting to expand their fleet. The two-ship set simply gives you more building and painting possibilities.
Due to its increased desirability, the two-ship set might be slightly less readily available than the single ship. However, its unique ships and display potential make it a sought-after item for collectors looking for a complete fleet or something special to add to their Gundam universe displays.
