Series Assembly Guide FAQ

Bandai 1/144 HG Heindree

Grassley's mass-production mainstay

The Heindree is Grassley Defense Systems' all-purpose mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, the CFP-010, latest in the Hein series and a common sight in the hands of Asticassia's Grassley House students. Where its sister unit the Heingra was built specifically for anti-Gundam combat, the Heindree is the broader, general-purpose machine, built for the classroom and the private sector as much as the duel court.

A solid pick for anyone building out the Asticassia school factions rather than chasing the lead Gundams alone.

Build difficulty

Bandai rates this Skill Level 1 on the box, very easy to complete. Parts are mainly post-fitted rather than glued in during assembly, specifically to avoid pinching, so it snaps together cleanly straight from the runner. A genuinely approachable kit for a newer builder, or a quick weeknight build for anyone else.

Technical highlights

The ball joints at the neck and waist are designed with extra clearance so the Heindree can tilt forward and back, not just side to side, which is a common limitation on kits at this price point. Its round shield is fixed to the left arm, while the lantern shield on its right arm carries a beam handgun and an electromagnetic lance that can swing round to the front for a guard pose. The backpack carries three thruster nozzles for a mobility silhouette that reads as bulkier than most 1/144 HG kits its size.

What Makes This Kit Special

  • Forward and backward neck and waist tilt: the ball joints are cut with clearance for tilting poses most kits this size can't manage.
  • Dual shield loadout: a round shield on the left arm and a lantern shield with an integrated beam handgun on the right.
  • Swing-forward electromagnetic lance: the right-arm weapon rotates round to a front guard position.
  • Post-fit assembly: parts are mainly fitted after the fact rather than snapped in during the build, which avoids the pinched-joint problem common on budget HG kits.
  • Three-nozzle backpack: a bulkier mobility silhouette than most kits at this price and scale.

Australian Stock: Dispatched from Brisbane once your order is placed. Packed securely in a sturdy outer box with water-soluble cornstarch void fill that dissolves cleanly in the sink.

What to Watch For

A general web sweep found limited dedicated build coverage for this specific kit beyond the manufacturer's own feature list, standard for a mass-production mob-suit release rather than a lead Gundam. No structural or fit issues turned up in the sources checked. Genuinely thin coverage rather than a confirmed clean build, so treat this as an honest gap in independent reviews rather than a guarantee.

Builder Tips: Because parts are mainly post-fitted rather than snapped together during assembly, dry-fit the shield and lance attachments before final assembly to plan your preferred pose. The forward/backward neck and waist tilt is worth using, most kits this size only tilt side to side.

Build Notes

Snap-fit assembly, no glue required. Nippers and a hobby knife cover the tool requirements. A quick build, well suited to an afternoon. Recommended age 8 years and up.

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
Skill Level.1. Most adults & children can assemble Skill Level 1 kits with little to no difficulty. Very basic hobby tools are recommended including a pair of nippers, a hobby knife, but are not essential. No Glue is needed for these kits. Kits are all snap together build and most parts can be removed by twisting and pushing without the need to snip with nippers.
No Cement Required

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.

No Painting Required

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 Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha 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 is the "Ad Stella" timeline, and how does it differ from other Gundam series timelines?

The "Ad Stella" timeline represents humanity's journey to the stars, notable for its military's decision to reduce mobile suit production. Unlike previous series, "Ad Stella" centers on the first female Gundam protagonist, Suletta Mercury, emphasizing the contrast between Earthians (G-Witch) and Spacians, and the dominance of corporate conglomerates in space.

Who is the central character in "The Witch from Mercury", and what's her significance?

"The Witch from Mercury" features Suletta Mercury as its central character, initially known as Ericht Samaya. After surviving a satellite research hub's destruction, she later enrolls at the Asticassia School of Technology and aspires to prove her piloting skills using the Gundam Aerial, built with GUND technology.

What is the GUND technology, and why is it controversial in the series?

GUND is an advanced man-machine system developed by Vanadis Institute to augment human interstellar exploration. When Ochs Earth took over the institute, GUND became foundational for Mobile Suit creation. However, due to its harmful effects on users, the Mobile Suit Development Council Front banned its use, leading to the destruction of a satellite hub focused on GUND research.

Can you name some prominent Gunpla models from "The Witch from Mercury"?

Some of the notable Gunpla kits from this series include the following HG Gundam:- Gundam Aerial, Demi Barding Chu's Chu's Demi Barding, Gundam Lfrith, Zorwort, Gundam Aerial Rebuild, Gundam Schwarzette, and Gundam Calibarn. There has also been a Full Mechanics 1/100 Gundam Aerial produced as well Q: What makes "The Wit

What makes "The Witch from Mercury" a standout addition to the Gundam franchise?

As a standalone installment, "The Witch from Mercury" introduces an entirely new timeline and backstory. With no prior storylines to adhere to, it offers unpredictability, fresh characters, innovative mobile suit designs, and a new perspective centered around a female protagonist in the Gundam universe.

Awesome kit, great extras. Only criticism is that the kit comes with a base so you don't need the second one. The kit also doesn't have the ability to take the blue LED bonus so if you don't have another use for it it is wasted. Luckily, I'm a Gundam tragic so will always have uses for extra bases and lighting kits.

Excellent service and fast delivery

I purchased on 6 Jan and my order arrived on 13 Jan. It was very well packed, with both boxes in excellent condition. Cam even provided a small free gift in the box! Overall purchasing experience was smooth and hassle-free. I haven’t had the chance to build the kit yet, but based on the service and care taken with shipping, I would happily purchase from this store if there are other Space Battleship Yamato models available.

Very rare with fair price

If you were one of the lucky ones that were able to travel to Sydney Gundam Base pop-up in 2025 and queued extremely early (like the first 40 or so) on the first day, probably you were able to grab one of these. Otherwise, the only alternative I would know of is traveling to Japan and being uber lucky of having it still being sold at Gundam bases. Otherwise, it's a second-hand market, and prices will go up. That said, the price was fair, I think it would be similar price as using a dropship service from Japan, with the exception that it's much faster and way more guaranteed you will get proper merchandise. So, Mecha Express, Cam, thank you so much for your store!
