Kotobukiya Frame Arms Kenshin

The Frame Arms Kenshin is the latest masterpiece from the mind of Kunio Okawara, the legendary Japanese mechanical designer!

This stunning kit features a unique design that combines elements of samurai armor with modern technology. The model can be displayed in two different forms, either with a warrior's helmet or a priest's swallow-tailed cap. The new unique designs are shown on various parts of this model such as the helmet and the flag emblem on its back. They bring out the main colors of the model which are blue, red, and gold.

The model's colour scheme is recreated with coloured plastic, so you don't need to paint it. The multi-coloured plastic of the kits gives the model a striking appearance simply by assembling the model.

The kit also includes a long-handled sword ("Naginata"), a long and short Japanese sword, and a "gunbai" (military leader's fan) for SHINGEN. The wings with the emblem that are secured with a back pack and the shoulder armor can be adjusted freely to create a variety of silhouettes. The hand parts use swing joints. Gun-holding hand parts are included with "FA Hand 2."

The kit includes decals for this model, so you can customise it to your liking. The model uses Frame Architect Renewal ver. for the robot's frame. The Frame Architect is unassembled and made of PS plastic. The hips of Frame Architect use joint parts that allow for more secure support.

This is the perfect kit for any fan of Kunio Okawara, the Frame Arms series, or mecha in general. Order yours today!

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED

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.

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.

A welcoming start!

This was my first time ordering from this site, and I have absolutely no regrets! My order PGU RX-78-2 arrived very quickly, and to my surprise, it even came with a free Gundam marker. That small gesture truly made me feel welcomed into your community.

This definitely won’t be my last order—this is just the beginning of my support for this store, and I’m excited about the possibility of becoming a VIP member soon! 😊 I’m looking forward to purchasing PG kits and those hard-to-find Gunplas here in the future. Cheers!

An incredible looking kit with one flaw

The look of the kit is incredible and the fact it comes with a stand for the Lance is amazing QOL. However, there is one glaring issue, in that there is no shoulder joint. You heard me. The arms can only rotate, not move outward like in basically all other gunpla. I don't know why they built it this way but it is the one blemish on an incredible looking kit.

Epic Build

What can I say, this build is incredible, although I didn't manage to get the leds working, still, for my first perfect grade, it definitely didn't disappoint, I'm still finishing up the final few steps but very easy to follow instructions even without being able to Japanese.

Gender: Male

Comments: Not much to say that I haven't already. It's a nice fun build with nice details and parts separation. Though, the backpack thrusters pop off easily from the ball joint.

Pretty good, but not the best Barbatos kit

Barbatos Lupus Rex is probably my favourite design from IBO besides Bael and Full City Rebake, but my copy of this kit has a couple of problems. The many issues that people have is that the joints are awful, but mine has none of that for now, also the proportions are a bit off compared to the anime, hopefully when Bandai releases a MG 1/100 Lupus Rex these problems are not in that kit
