How to use
To assemble the GUNPLA SDEX Nu Gundam, carefully remove the plastic parts from the runners using a pair of side cutters. Follow the included instruction manual step-by-step to snap the components together. While the kit is designed for a snap-fit assembly, using a hobby knife to trim excess plastic from the parts will result in a cleaner finish. Once assembled, you can adjust the articulated joints to place the figure in your preferred stance.
What to consider before purchase
- Tools such as side cutters or a hobby knife are recommended for a professional finish.
- The model comes unpainted; while it looks great out of the box, painting or panel lining can enhance the final appearance.
- This is a model kit that requires assembly time and patience.
Usage recommendations
For the best results, use a dedicated hobby nipper to remove parts from the runners to avoid damaging the plastic. Take your time during the assembly process to ensure all parts are securely connected, and consider using a fine-tip marker for panel lining to highlight the intricate details of the mobile suit.
