On the Gundam Model difficulty scale, where does 1/100 fall? Which is the easiest model type and which is the hardest model type to build?

Easiest to build are HG gundams and then rg/MG. The hardest are generally PG Gundam.

It's like the second most challenging one in terms of difficulty but even then it isn't so bad, just more parts really. In order of difficultly from easiest to hardest, it's HG, RG, MG, and then PG

I think those 1/100 gundam are fine , it's good enough . From my perspective , the easiest type should be the hg series , and the hardest type is the Pg 1/60 scale .

For the most bang for your buck and enjoyment of snapping the kit together, you can't beat the 1/144 high grades. 1/100 master grades are a bit more challenging to build, but the end product is waaaaaayy more detailed. I personally have more high grades, but both are tons of fun and no paint or glue is necessary! A win win!

If you built a couple 1/144 scale kits you should be good to go the only thing with mater grades is that they take a lot longer than 1/144 kits so as long as you are careful and take your time and follow the instructions you will be fine! Hope this helps

1/100 scale kits can be a lot easier because the parts a little biger but the reall grade 1/144 scales have fewer parts. Master grade. Or reall grade are where I'd start

I got an RG Exia on my local store and it came with that Gundam.Info book. The saleslady even asked me if what year 2013 or 2014. In Amazon I do not know.

It's the 00 Gundam, but it doesn't have the 0 Raiser. It has some extra weapons instead, and you can also plug a 1/100 0 Raiser(sold separately) into it. So yes and no, I guess?

The kit that received through amazon had instructions in English, Japanese and German. Each step has all three translations and the illustrations are well presented. The kit is a joy to build. I also am doing the 1/32 scale F4U-1 Corsair. As with all the newer Tamiya and Hasagawa kits they fit and assemble very nicely. With all of that said and understood, there have been issues with folks ordering kits from suppliers in Japan and they will sometimes be the version that was intended for that market and those will often have instructions in Japanese only. Problematic, but not impossible. Just go to you-tube and search the kit you are looking for and you will find step by step instructions with video of almost all of the modern Japanese kits. If you like nice models, don't pass on this kit, it is very nice! Hope I have helped you and contact me anytime. David

1/100, But there are other scaled versions of this gundam as well. there is a 1/144 and i believe a 1/60

If you want the PG 1/60 go for it, it's an amazing looking model compared to the MG 1/100 but tons more expensive of course. But the MG 1/100 stands at about...the size of a 20z water bottle so think the height of a Dasani or some other brand like that. I suggest getting the Sengoku Astray after ordering the MG 1/100 since they are essentially the completely same Gundam and their parts are interchangeable.

Well, if you have any other MG gundam wing models, you have pretty good idea how big it is. All of MG gundam wing models are same size. It is cool kit though. It's not that difficult to build and it looks awesome when you open all the gun parts like shoulders and legs and chest parts. I am thinking about getting another kit of this so I can paint it and for extra gun.. that gun is awesome!!!

It is 1/64 Scale. The quality and construction is a little shoddy...My paint was off and my decals were off center and peeling. I wasnt happy with it at all.

My son assembled this Gundam. There is no glue, no screws. It's all snap together, and then applying some stickers. And as Daren said, it's best to have a model tool kit with cutter and file- my son found the tools very helpful.

I have built 3 of this model, and everyone of them has taken me more than 60 hours to paint,build,and do the things it needs to make it look like the 1-1 original car. I also am pretty anal about doing these cars! Time and patience is a gift, so use them!

Sorry for the late reply, I don't think it has a "grade" because it's not a model that you put together and glue, it's an action figure. That being said it was the best quality out of the three gundam figures that I bought. It's approximately 6" tall and has a good weight and is stiff and balanced enough to pose without a stand. You sound like you're probably a model builder, but I would still suggest this figure it was worth the price.

1/100 means the scale the model has to the original in-show gundam. (The models is roughly 11 in. or 28 cm. fully assembled). The model is also made of several different colored plastics, and thus needs no painting. (Unless you want to super customize your model, but I felt that more trouble than it was worth.)

No they would not. I collect both Gundam and transformers but I only use the stage act 5 for Gundam. Voyager class transformers are too big and heavy.

I didn't find one either only only the large standard models. Of course I found hard in the beginning but has gotten better since using it. Alos make sure you follow the start procedure. My main objective was the weight and being able to handle. Hope that helps a little. Terry Fisher

You should not need to paint any gundam models (especially MG ones) unless they are really old. This kit has great colors right out of the box so unless you just don't like the shade of color the answer is no. The only pieces some people choose to paint are the "gold" parts that come in more of a dull bronze unless you buy the upgraded version of this kit with more stuff.

I believe it is around 1/144 randomly. Bandai does not have a official scale for all Tamashii Nations models.

No that gundam does not have wings and is not a flight unit. It's a nice kit though.
