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.
This set packs a serious punch! You'll get: 2x 200mm Caliber Guns: Huge cannons for devastating long-range firepower. 2x Twin Maces: Perfect for close-quarters combat and brutal swings. Long Rifle: A versatile weapon for both sniping and sustained fire. Buster Sword: An oversized blade for epic melee clashes.
The parts are primarily designed for the HG Barbatos Lupus, but many of the weapons have universal joints or connection points that might work with other HG Gundam models of similar size. Checking online reviews or forums for specific compatibility is recommended.
This set includes a complete snap-fit kit for building the Tekkadan Mobile Worker, a small and agile combat machine used by Tekkadan in the "Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans" series.
Yes! The set includes two optional hands for the HG Barbatos Lupus, allowing you to hold the larger weapons like the Buster Sword effectively.
The HG series is generally beginner-friendly with snap-fit parts and no glue required. The Tekkadan Mobile Worker and weapons might present a slightly higher challenge due to their smaller size and detail, but overall, it's still manageable for first-time builders.
