Gundam Model Kits: The Fascinating World of Gunpla Models
Welcome to the ultimate universe of giant fighting robots. Gundam model kits, universally known as Gunpla (Gundam Plastic Model), have evolved from a Japanese pop culture phenomenon into a global cult. This specialized collection features an enormous range of official model kits from the various eras of the legendary sci-fi franchise. Experience the fascination of creating a highly complex, fully articulated mecha with your own hands from countless individual parts.
From High Grade to Perfect Grade: The Right Level for Every Hobbyist
What's special about the Gunpla universe is its sophisticated system of quality grades that offers the perfect challenge for both beginners and absolute pros:
- High Grade (HG): Held in the classic 1:144 scale, these models offer the ideal entry point. They are varied to build and already show great detail.
- Real Grade (RG): Also in 1:144 scale, but equipped with an inner frame and an extreme density of details and joints – perfect for demanding hobbyists.
- Master Grade (MG): These kits in the larger 1:100 scale impress with outstanding mechanics, complex internal structures, and an impressive presence in the display case.
- Perfect Grade (PG): The absolute supreme class in 1:60 scale. Hundreds of parts, uncompromising depth of detail, and often integrated LED effects make these models the ultimate project.
Innovative Plastic Model Building: No Glue Required
A huge advantage of the original Bandai kits is the revolutionary Snap-Fit-System. The precisely molded plastic parts are simply separated from the runners and snapped together. No glue is needed for assembly. In addition, the parts are already pre-painted in the authentic colors of the respective Mobile Suit. This means: The model looks fantastic immediately after pure assembly.
For creative minds, the fun only truly begins afterward: with panel liners for deeper contours, special markers, or a complete airbrush paint job including weathering effects, every Gundam becomes a unique masterpiece.
What distinguishes this Gundam collection:
- Original Bandai Quality: Authentic imports from Japan with perfect fit and licensed designs.
- Extreme Articulation: Thanks to the highly developed plastic joints, the finished robots can be posed in almost any conceivable action stance.
- Wide Assortment: Models from cult series such as Gundam Wing, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Iron-Blooded Orphans, or the latest saga The Witch from Mercury.
