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.
The EX Standard line features a slightly larger size and more articulation compared to the regular SD Gundam kits. This allows for a wider range of poses and a more dynamic overall presentation. Additionally, the EX Standard Destiny Gundam comes with pre-painted parts and stickers for extra detail, while the regular SD Gundam kit typically requires painting.
Yes, the kit includes Destiny Gundam's signature armaments: Beam Boomerang Beam Rifle Palma Fiocina beam pistol Anti-beam Shield Wing binders with beam sabers
The EX Standard line is still geared towards beginner modelers. The snap-fit construction eliminates the need for glue, and the larger pieces are easier to handle compared to traditional SD Gundam kits. However, there are some small parts involved, so adult supervision is recommended for younger builders.
Yes, the EX Standard Destiny Gundam is compatible with other SD Gundam parts, including weapons and armor from different kits. This opens up creative possibilities for personalization and creating your own unique mobile suit variations.
You can find the kit at various online and offline hobby stores, toy shops, and marketplaces like Amazon or eBay. The price typically ranges from $20 to $30 USD.
