The higher up in size (scale) you go, then generally the more parts there are to assemble. Whereas some others may only be available in one or two scales.Ĭomplexity (Grades) The are quite a few 'grades' of kit and generally these would be: Some kits (like the RX-78 used in the image above) are available in all the major scales. However, some kits can be smaller or larger than others of the same scale - obviously this depends on the 'real' size in the first place. It would be fair to say that the actual sizes indicated would a pretty fair average for most kits in a given scale. As you can see the RX-78 starts at 9cm and goes all the way up to 31cm in height starting from the smallest models at 1/200 scale up to the impressive 1/60 scale kits. The comparative sizes below are based on the RX-78 Gundam in different scales. However there are other less common sizes available such as 1/400 or 1/700 - these smaller scales are generally used for very large items such as ships. For instance a 1/144 scale kit is 144 times smaller than the Gundam it's based on. Scale refers to how many times smaller the kit would be compared to the 'real' Gundam it's based on. Here we present a brief guide which aims to give you a clearer understanding of some of the models that are available for purchase from Gundam Mad. Gundam model kits, otherwise referred to as 'Gunpla' or 'Gundam Plamo', come in a variety of sizes ('scale') and complexities ('grades'). Assembly instructions are easy to follow pictures - no need to learn Japanese! All parts clip together - no glue required! Multi coloured plastics - no painting required! But the same basic principles of construction apply to them all such as: Or maybe you've already built some of the simpler kits but are not sure what's involved in taking on one of the larger or more complex ones.įirst off let's start by letting you know that these kits are not difficult to assemble, it's just that the bigger the kit and the more complex it is, the longer it will take you to assemble. Maybe you've just stumbled across our site and have no idea what you'd be letting yourself in for if you bought some of the model kits that we have for sale on the Gundam Mad website.
