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

Which 1/144 scale Gunpla models is this Meteor Hopper compatible with?

This Option Parts Set 16 (Meteor Hopper) is generally designed to be compatible with a wide range of 1/144 scale Gunpla kits, particularly those in the High Grade (HG) line. However, depending on the specific model's design and connection points, some customization or modification might be needed for a perfect fit. It's often showcased with specific HG kits, so checking online resources or model reviews for compatibility with your desired Gunpla is recommended.

What does the Meteor Hopper actually do? Is it just for display, or does it have any features?

The Meteor Hopper is primarily a booster unit designed to enhance the mobility and potentially the appearance of your 1/144 scale Gunpla. It typically attaches to the back or legs of the model. While its main function is aesthetic and for creating dynamic display options, some sets might include features like articulated wings or thrusters for added visual interest. It does not typically have electronic features.

Does this set come pre-painted, or will I need to paint it myself?

This Option Parts Set typically comes molded in various colors, meaning you won't need to paint it for a decent look. However, like most Gunpla kits, painting and detailing can significantly enhance the final appearance and allow for greater customization to match your specific Gunpla model.

How many Meteor Hoppers are included in one set?

The "Option Parts Set" designation usually implies that one complete Meteor Hopper unit is included in the package. However, it's always best to double-check the product description or images to confirm exactly what's included, as some sets might have variations or additional small parts.

Are there any specific tools or additional parts required to attach the Meteor Hopper to my Gunpla?

Generally, no specific tools beyond standard Gunpla building tools like nippers (for removing parts from the runners) are strictly required for attaching the Meteor Hopper. The set is designed to connect using existing connection points on compatible 1/144 scale kits. However, as mentioned in the first question, minor modifications or the use of third-party joint parts might be desired for certain models to achieve the best fit and stability. The instructions included with the Option Parts Set will provide guidance on attachment.
