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.

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm a fan of the original Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, but I haven't seen SEED Freedom. Is this Cal-re.A kit still for me?

While the Cal-re.A originates from Gundam SEED Freedom, it offers a unique and mysterious design. Even if you're not familiar with the sequel series, this kit can be a fantastic addition to your collection based on its cool aesthetics and poseable features.

The description mentions "Wings of Light." What exactly are they, and how do they work with the model?

The Wings of Light are a signature feature of the Cal-re.A mobile suit. This kit includes special parts and a PET sheet (a thin, plastic sheet). The parts allow you to unfold the backpack section, and the PET sheet creates a translucent, wing-like effect when placed behind the backpack, replicating the glowing energy wings seen in the anime.

Does this Cal-re.A model come pre-painted, or do I need to paint it myself?

The 1/144 HG line typically features pre-colored parts, so painting is not necessary to achieve an accurate look of the Cal-re.A. However, some modelers choose to add custom paint jobs for further personalization (paint sold separately). The description highlights the "metallic accents" which are pre-applied for a more realistic look.

I'm new to building models. Is this HG Cal-re.A kit a good starting point?

Absolutely! The HG (High Grade) line is known for its user-friendly approach. This Cal-re.A kit features a snap-fit assembly system, so no glue is required. The instructions are clear, making it a great option for beginners to experience the fun of model building.

How big is the finished Cal-re.A model?

The size of 1/144 HG kits can vary slightly, but they typically fall around the 4-5 inch range when assembled. Checking product details or reviews with size comparisons can provide a more precise idea.

Everything was well packed, arrived promptly, and came with a postcard and part separator as a welcome gift. Very impressed.

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!
