Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is paint required for this kit?

No, the kit is molded in the correct colors, and the parts are designed with color separation in mind. Painting is optional for those who wish to add extra detail.

Does this model come with a display stand?

The kit includes the figure and its accessories, but a separate action base stand is usually sold separately to support flight poses.

Is it suitable for beginners?

While recommended for both adults and children, the RG line is more complex than entry-grade kits. It is a great step up for a beginner looking for more detail.

What tools do I need to build it?

You will need a pair of hobby nippers to cut parts from the runners and ideally a hobby knife for cleaning up nub marks.

Can the model transform into all its forms?

Yes, it is designed to recreate the core splendor and flyer combinations seen in the series.

What is the scale of this Gundam?

This is a 1/144 scale model.

Troubleshooting

Part fits too loosely or falls off

Check that the part was fully seated on its post and ensure no excess plastic nubs remain from the runner.

Joints feel stiff or squeak

Do not force the joint. Gently disassemble the section to ensure there is no debris inside the joint assembly and check for any misaligned internal frame parts.

Sticker/Decal application is difficult

Use a pair of fine-tipped tweezers to place the realistic decals, and ensure the surface of the plastic is clean and free of oil before application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of mechanical detail and accuracy
  • Excellent range of motion due to advanced joint design
  • Superior color separation straight out of the box
  • Ability to recreate transformation sequences
  • Includes a wide variety of weapon accessories

Cons

  • Requires significant assembly time
  • Small parts may be difficult to handle for younger builders
  • Precision required for successful transformation
  • Requires tools like nippers and hobby knives for clean builds

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin your build, you will need basic modeling tools, specifically a pair of side cutters (nippers) to remove parts from the runners and a craft knife to clean up remaining plastic nubs. Do not twist parts off the runner, as this can damage the surface finish.

Since this is a 1/144 scale kit, it is compatible with standard display stands for Gundam models. When handling the finished product, avoid over-extending the articulated joints, as excessive force can cause wear over time. To preserve the appearance, keep the model away from direct sunlight, which can fade the plastic colors over extended periods, and use a soft brush to remove dust from the crevices periodically.
