Bandai Plannosaurus Brachiosaurus

Brachiosaurus, built from the skeleton out

Plannosaurus is Bandai's dinosaur model-kit line, and this is number 10 in the series, the super-large late Jurassic sauropod Brachiosaurus. You build it in two stages: first the skeleton, so you can see how the animal is put together, then the outer skin parts that restore its shape. It stands on its own display base when you are done.

Bandai says no tools or adhesives are needed, so it is an easy first dinosaur kit. The parts are colour-moulded, which keeps painting to a minimum, and the box is rated for ages 6 and up by Bandai.

What makes this kit special

  • Skeletal build, then dinosaur build: Assemble the skeleton piece by piece, then attach the skin parts over the top.
  • Based on fossils: The nasal cavity on top of the head, the row of teeth and the long forelimbs that sit higher than the hips are shaped from fossil evidence.
  • A neck that moves smoothly: Bandai highlights lowering the neck from the base, as if drinking water or eating grass at ground level.
  • Detailed neck structure: The neck shows the neural spines that support the neck muscles, the overlapping bones and the gaps down the sides.
  • Powerful tail: The tail is short for a sauropod and is thought to have been a defence against predators.
  • Claws you cannot see: The thumb claws on the forelimbs and the tiptoe shape of the hind limbs are built from the skeleton even though the skin covers them.

Assembly Guide

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.

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 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 makes these Gunpla kits the hottest sellers?

These kits are fan favourites for their detailed design, affordability, and build size, offering a balanced and enjoyable building experience.

Are these hottest seller kits suitable for beginners?

Absolutely! Especially the HG kits, which are known for their fewer parts and simplicity, making them a great starting point for new builders.

What is the level of detail in the MG and RG hottest sellers?

MG kits boast a detailed inner frame and additional parts, while RG combines MG’s complexity with HG’s size for an intricate, compact build.

Can I get replacement parts if I lose some during the build?

Yes, if you buy a kit from Mecha Express Australia we will source replacement parts for you. This is not a quick process as parts need to come from Bandai in Japan.

How much space will I need to display these Gunpla?

HG and RG Gundam kits are compact, while MG Gundam are larger but still manageable. You won’t need too much space to showcase these masterpieces beautifully.
