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.

Purchased gundam Vidar (Iron Blooded Orphans) as a gift for my partner’s birthday and he LOVED it. Such a fun build and came in excellent condition! We were even given an extra tool which was super nice as he didn’t have that one yet! Will definitely be purchasing another gundam for his next birthday!
