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

Is this model kit suitable for a beginner?

Yes, the Bandai 1/144 HG (High Grade) line is widely considered the best starting point for new builders. This kit features snap-fit construction, which means no glue is required. The parts are molded in their correct colors, so painting is not necessary to achieve a great-looking result. A pair of hobby nippers is the only tool you'll need to get started.

Does this kit come with all of the Legend Gundam's weapons and accessories?

Yes, the kit is fully equipped with the Legend Gundam's complete arsenal. This includes the high-energy beam rifle, two beam javelins, and a beam shield. It also comes with the iconic clear blue effect parts for the Dragoon system, allowing you to display the mobile suit in its powerful attack mode.

Does this model require glue or paint to be assembled?

No, this is a snap-fit kit designed by Bandai. All parts lock securely into place without the need for adhesive. The parts are also pre-colored, so the model looks fantastic right out of the box without any painting. However, experienced builders can add panel lining and a topcoat for a more detailed, professional finish.

How good is the articulation and can it hold a dynamic pose?

The HG Legend Gundam features modern articulation for a wide range of motion. It utilizes the "SEED Action System" frame, which is specialized for recreating the dynamic, action-packed poses from the Gundam SEED Destiny anime. The joints are designed to be sturdy, allowing the kit to hold its poses effectively, even with its large backpack.

What is the difference between this HG kit and the old version?

This is a new, modern version of the HG Legend Gundam. It features a complete redesign with the latest High Grade technology, including the SEED Action System. The parts separation is far more accurate, and the color molding is improved. This new version has superior articulation, better proportions, and includes clear effect parts for the Dragoon system that were not available in the original 2005 release.
