Series Assembly Guide FAQ

Bandai 1/100 MG Gundam Virtue

Two Gundams in one box

The Gundam Virtue is Tieria Erde's mobile suit from the first season of Mobile Suit Gundam 00, a heavy weapons platform built around a secret: strip away the bulky external armour and the slimmer Gundam Nadleeh is underneath, fully built and ready to pilot on its own. This Master Grade kit is the first time that reveal has been captured properly in plastic, and it's the reason the box is bigger than most MG kits on the shelf.

If you build one MG a year, this is a strong pick for the collector who wants an engineering story as much as a mobile suit.

Build difficulty

This is a Skill Level 3 kit on the Bandai box: full hobby tool kit recommended, cement and paint both come into play for a clean finish, and the part count is high because you're effectively building two complete mobile suits (Nadleeh, then the Virtue armour shell around it). Budget more build time than a standard MG. Not a first MG, but a rewarding one for a builder who has a few kits behind them.

Technical highlights

The external armour of the Virtue detaches in full to reveal the Gundam Nadleeh within, and the internal lining parts are moulded to add density and realism to the reveal rather than leaving a hollow shell. The GN cable on the legs uses resin parts with hologram processing for extra visual brilliance. Both GN cannons on the shoulders expand and contract, and can be swung up to the Virtue's upper body for its attack form. Nadleeh's own shield, GN beam rifle, and matching effect parts are included, along with a solar furnace as a bonus part.

What Makes This Kit Special

  • Full Nadleeh reveal: the external Virtue armour comes apart in one deliberate sequence to expose a complete, independently posable Gundam Nadleeh underneath.
  • Two GN cannons, one attack form: the shoulder-mounted cannons extend and swing up to the Virtue's back for its signature bombardment stance.
  • Hologram-processed GN cable: the resin leg cable is treated for extra shine rather than moulded as flat plastic.
  • Two pilot figures: Tieria Erde in uniform and a second figure in a dress are both included.
  • Nadleeh's own loadout: a dedicated shield, GN beam rifle and effect parts ship with the kit, not sold as a separate add-on.
  • Bonus solar furnace part: an extra display piece included alongside the main build.

  • GN Cannon x2
  • GN Bazooka
  • GN Shield
  • GN Beam Saber x2

Fast Australian Shipping

Same Day Dispatch: Orders placed before 2pm weekdays ship same day. Orders after 2pm or on weekends ship next business day.

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 builder discussion of this kit's size and two-stage build (Nadleeh first, then the Virtue shell around it), with more than one build log noting the armour panels connecting to Nadleeh can feel slightly loose or rattly once fully assembled, even though each panel individually clicks into place. No dedicated professional review of this specific 2021 release turned up a structural fault beyond that fit note, so this is stated as builder feedback rather than a confirmed pattern.

Builder Tips: Dry-fit the Virtue armour panels onto Nadleeh before committing to a final pose. If you plan to build Nadleeh as a genuinely separate display piece later, some builders recommend a second kit rather than repeatedly stripping the armour off the same one.

Build Notes

Cement and paint both come into play for a clean finish, on top of standard cutting, trimming and sanding. A hobby knife, sprue cutters, tweezers, and assorted sandpaper grits are the minimum tool kit. Expect a long build session given the two-suits-in-one part count. Recommended age 15+.

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
Skill Level.3. Basic modeling skills are essential. These kits are not recommended for beginners or children due to the high level of complexity of assembly and the sheer volume of parts. Experience in building more complex Gunpla models is recommended. Parental supervision is essential. A full set of hobby tools is recommended that includes, nippers, hobby knives, sandpaper, sanding sticks, files, buffing files, glues, tweezers, and decal adhesive/softener. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Gundam Nadleeh actually come apart from the Virtue?

Yes. The external Virtue armour fully detaches to reveal a complete, separately posable Gundam Nadleeh underneath, not a cosmetic panel line.

What skill level is the MG Gundam Virtue?

Skill Level 3 on the Bandai box. Cement and paint both come into the build for a clean finish, and the part count is high because you're building two mobile suits in one kit.

What weapons and accessories are included?

Two GN cannons, a GN bazooka, a GN shield, two GN beam sabers, a GN beam rifle with effect parts, Nadleeh's own shield and beam rifle, and a bonus solar furnace part.

Is a display stand included?

No display base is included with the kit. For the attack-form pose with both GN cannons deployed, pair the MG Gundam Virtue with the Bandai Action Base 4, the standard 1/100 display stand.

Is this a good first Master Grade kit?

Not the easiest starting point. The two-suits-in-one part count and the cement and paint steps suit a builder who already has a few kits behind them rather than a first MG.

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!
