## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hey, i'm a beginner, i never built one before is this a good start for me ? if so what other supply's do i need !**
A: This set is a very a good starting kit for beginners, as are most High Grade kits. For all gundam kits the main essentials you need are a pair of "tweezers," to place the stickers on to the kit and a pair of "wire cutter pliers," for cutting out the Gundam's parts (do not use scissors). Lastly, the 3 main Grades, High "HG"(beginner), Master "MG"(intermediate), and Perfect "PG"(professional), come with colored parts so you do not need to add any paint unless you want to add more details, but i prefer to have the kits look how it is eight out of the box. No glue is required :D

**Q: is it include display stand?**
A: I'm sorry display stand is not included

**Q: Do the instructions come in English**
A: While the instructions are in Japanese, the runners are all marked using the English Alphabet and the pieces on each of those are marked with universal numbers(1, 2 etc...) So in the instructions it will show a diagram where the pieces are marked with, for example, A1 and the picture will have guiding arrows for how to connect it to whatever piece it's supposed to connect to. So as long as you know the English Alphabet, the rest is all pictures.

**Q: I heard that they eyes actually have a clear piece for the eyes, is this true?**
A: Yes the eyes are cast in a clear yellow plastic. They provide normal eye stickers to cover the piece or silver stickers to apply to the back of the eyepiece. However, you have to add the black lining around the eyes for the second option.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by J***J on 24 April 2026*

Fantastic start to the hobby. I bought this on a whim since it was on sale and now I totally get why gundam models are so addictive. putting together this Gundam was incredibly satisfying and the final product is a highly posable action figure that I've had a lot of fun with. The instructions were clear and everything was labeled in a way that made assembly easy. Make sure you have tweezers for the stickers; they are insanely small!!
