Japan's official "Mobile Suit Gundam" Gunpla flagship store, GUNDAM BASE, today announced the upcoming release of a new store-exclusive item: the "ENTRY GRADE 1/144 Strike Gundam [Painting Model]," slated to launch on May 21, 2022.
The "ENTRY GRADE 1/144 Strike Gundam," originally released in 2021, is an ideal entry-level kit suitable for children aged 8 and up, as well as model kit beginners. It boasts features like simple assembly and excellent part separation with pre-molded colors. The entire model is composed of just 79 parts, with the head, torso, and limbs all recreated in their respective molded colors, eliminating the need for stickers or additional painting. Furthermore, the runners feature an intuitive, head-to-toe part arrangement, and no tools like nippers are required—parts can be easily detached by hand.
Leveraging its simple assembly and the ability to paint individual parts before construction, the "ENTRY GRADE 1/144 Strike Gundam [Painting Model]" arrives in a pristine, canvas-like white molded color. This allows builders to unleash their creativity with custom paint jobs or by applying various decals. Additionally, the product includes a painting technique guide from the renowned Meijin Kawaguchi, ensuring even beginners can quickly get started.
