Tips and tricks:

• For better effects, some details can be highlighted using Gundam markers.
• It is recommended to use a topcoat (recommended Mr. Hobby) to protect the applied stickers. (Water-based topcoat is recommended due to the PP parts in the kit).
• If using a matte/flat-finish topcoat, it is not recommended to spray transparent parts - this can be done by masking or spraying the topcoat when the parts are separated.

Gunpla is an abbreviation for GUNdam PLAstic model. Models do not require glue or (for the most part) painting. They are based on the Japanese series - Gundam - which debuted in Japan in 1979 and featured giant combat robots, reaching heights of up to 18 meters, piloted by humans.

Assembly kit. To assemble, you will need modeling nippers (to cut the model parts from the frames), which are not included in the kit. It is also worth equipping yourself with a modeling knife (or a utility knife). The photo shows a professionally assembled model.
