Assembly Guide

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.

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.

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 Gundam series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Gundam 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

Does this kit fully transform between Fighter, Gerwalk, and Battroid modes, or does it require part swapping?

This 1/100 HG VF-31J Siegfried utilizes Bandai's "Shortcut Change" system, which simplifies transformation through strategic part swapping. This approach allows for highly accurate proportions in each mode without the compromises often seen in fully transformable models, ensuring a satisfying display in Fighter, Gerwalk, or Battroid forms.

What is the skill level required for assembling this model kit, and does it require glue or paint?

This is a High Grade (HG) model kit, generally considered suitable for modelers with basic experience. It features snap-fit assembly, meaning no glue is required for the main construction. The parts are molded in color, so painting is not strictly necessary to achieve a good appearance, though advanced modelers may choose to paint for added detail.

What accessories and features are included with this specific Hayate Immelman version of the VF-31J Siegfried?

This kit typically includes a minigun pod, two knives, a set of landing gear, parts for recreating the fighter form, joint parts, various expressive hand parts, and multiple figures (usually two pilot figures and a Freyja Wion figure). The canopy utilizes polarized molding and can be opened and closed, and it also comes with a multi-drone pedestal for dynamic display. Some "Deluxe Set" versions may also include exclusive waterslide decals and an acrylic stand for Freyja Wion.

How does the quality and articulation of this 1/100 HG Macross kit compare to other Bandai model lines, like Gunpla?

The 1/100 HG Macross line, including the VF-31J Siegfried, is known for its high quality, precise molding, and excellent color separation due to features like "insert molding." While similar to HG Gunpla in ease of assembly and overall quality, these Macross kits are designed specifically to handle the unique transformations of Variable Fighters, offering new levels of articulation and structural integrity optimized for posing in all three modes.

Is this a limited release item, and how soon can I expect to receive it after purchase, especially given its recent release date?

As a popular new release from Bandai, initial stock can be limited. While not always a one-time production, high demand often leads to quick sell-outs. Given its release in July 2025, it's a very new product. Shipping times will vary depending on your location and the retailer's logistics, but pre-orders or early purchases are recommended to secure your unit. Always check the estimated delivery date provided by the seller.
