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

What does "(GQ)" stand for and which series is this kit from?

(GQ)" stands for "GQuuuuuuX," which is the series this particular model is from. This is not a standard High Grade (HG) kit from the main Universal Century timeline. Instead, it's part of a different continuity and design aesthetic, which is why it has a distinct look compared to other Rick Dom models.

What are the key features and gimmicks of this specific HG Rick Dom?

This kit is known for several unique features. The most notable is its ability to transform into a high-mobility form without needing to swap parts, thanks to a re-engineered design. It also includes an electromagnetic hook gimmick that uses a real lead wire for added realism, and a giant bazooka with a movable grip. The kit is designed to recreate the dynamic, high-speed movements seen in the "GQuuuuuuX" series.

Does this kit allow you to build both Gaia's and Ortega's versions of the Rick Dom?

Yes, the kit is designed to build either Gaia's or Ortega's custom unit. The box includes all the necessary parts and stickers to create two distinct versions, each with unique equipment loadouts and emblem markings. This allows the builder to choose their preferred pilot's mobile suit.

What accessories are included in the box?

The kit comes with a comprehensive set of accessories to recreate its on-screen appearance. Included are: The main parts for the Rick Dom body A Giant Bazooka with a movable grip Two Heat Sabers A lead wire to represent the Electromagnetic Hook Multiple interchangeable hand parts A sheet of marking stickers for detailed decals

Is this a new mold or a reuse of an old kit?

The "HG Rick Dom (Gaia / Ortega) (GQ)" is a brand new mold. It is not a simple recolor or minor modification of a previous Rick Dom High Grade kit. The design, with its enhanced thruster units, specific articulation, and transforming gimmick, is completely new and tailored to the unique appearance and function of the mobile suit from the "GQuuuuuuX" series.

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!
