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

What makes the Type-F different from the regular Astraea?

The Type-F features significant upgrades over the standard Astraea: Enhanced Mobility: Advanced backpack thrusters enable more dynamic aerial poses and maneuvers. Power Boost: New beam saber and rifle offer increased offensive capabilities. Sleek New Armor: Boasts a stylish redesign with sharper lines and additional armor plates.

Is it an easy build for beginners?

While the RG line caters to a wider range of skill levels, the Type-F's advanced backpack and additional parts might be slightly more challenging for complete beginners. However, experienced builders and those comfortable with snap-fit construction should find it a manageable and rewarding build.

Does it come pre-painted or require painting?

The kit comes pre-molded in multiple colors, eliminating the need for painting for basic display. However, experienced modelers can certainly add their own artistic touch with additional paint details and weathering effects.

Are there any exclusive accessories or features for the P-Bandai release?

P-Bandai kits often include exclusive parts or features not found in general retail releases. In the case of the Type-F, it might include additional weapons, display stands, or special decals. Be sure to check the specific product details for the version you're interested in.

How difficult is it to find after the initial release?

P-Bandai kits are limited production runs, so finding them after the initial release can be challenging. Be prepared for potential price increases or searching through secondary markets like online auctions or hobby shops with remaining stock.
