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 exactly makes this a "Limited" kit, and how is the "Biosensor Image Color" different from a standard Zeta Gundam?

This is a Gundam Base Limited Edition release, meaning it was originally sold exclusively at official Gundam Base retail stores in Japan and select international locations, making it much rarer than a mass-market kit. The Biosensor Image Color refers to the unique plastic molding, which typically replaces the standard white, blue, and red armor with translucent or metallic pink and red/clear green parts. This coloring is inspired by the iconic scene in the anime where the Zeta Gundam’s Biosensor activates, giving it a powerful, glowing appearance.

Does this HG 1/144 Zeta Gundam [UC.0088] model fully transform into its Waverider mode?

Yes, this High Grade (HG) kit retains the Zeta Gundam's signature ability to convert into its high-speed Waverider mode. Like the base HGUC Zeta Gundam mold, the transformation is generally achieved through a combination of part-swapping and moving joints, ensuring both mobile suit and flight forms have excellent proportions.

What does the "[UC.0088]" designation mean, and does it affect the design?

The [UC.0088] designation refers to the Universal Century timeline year immediately following the end of the Gryps Conflict. This version is based on a mold (often called the "HGUC Zeta Gundam [U.C. 0088 Ver.]") that features re-engineered parts for improved proportion and detail compared to older HG Zeta models. New molds are typically used for the head, chest, and certain leg/armor panels to better reflect the machine's appearance post-Gryps War.

Is this a complex kit to build for a beginner, or does the special coloring require painting?

As a High Grade (HG) 1/144 kit, it is designed for snap-fit assembly and is generally suitable for beginners. You do not need to paint the kit to achieve the distinct look; the special Biosensor Image Color is pre-molded into the plastic runners themselves, giving the completed model its exclusive glowing appearance right out of the box.

What accessories or weapons are included with this limited-edition kit?

This model typically includes the standard array of the Zeta Gundam's primary armaments. Expect to receive the Beam Rifle, the massive Hyper Mega Launcher, two Beam Sabers (with clear effect parts), and the Shield, which integrates into the Waverider transformation.

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!
