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.
No, the Kotobukiya 1/72 Mirage C01-GAEA (Reissue) is a plastic model kit. It comes in molded colors, but painting is not included and recommended for a more finished look.
For basic assembly, you'll need plastic model nippers to remove the parts from the runners. For a more detailed build, hobby tools like glue, sandpaper, and paint brushes can be helpful.
The C01-GAEA comes with its signature rifle and laser blade. However, some pictures might show additional weapon packs (missile launchers, etc.) that are sold separately.
The 1/72 Mirage C01-GAEA is rated for ages 15 and up. While it features detailed parts, it's generally considered a good fit for hobbyists with some experience or those who are comfortable following instructions.
The Mirage C01-GAEA is a core part featured in several Armored Core titles, including Nexus, Formula Front, Nine Breaker, and Last Raven. This reissue allows fans of any of these games to build and customize their favorite AC.
