This is an injection-plastic kit of a science-fiction/anime item.
Kotobukiya adds the newly designed 1/100 scale Izumo to their incredible Frame Arms line!
From Kotobukiya's website:
From the main mechanic designer of the Frame Arms series, Takayuki Yanase, the first in the second generation of military warship-type Frame Arms with newly sculpted parts, Izumo, is born!
- Newly designed head, chest, shoulder, knees, and armor are recreated in a new sculpt.
- This model kit can completely transform from human-mode to warship-mode. A specialized drone can be docked on its characteristic armored deck.
- Joint parts specifically made for drones are included and can also be used with 3mm connecting joints or Mini Flying Bases.
- The parts for the "Machine Gun" have been modified to use 3mm connections.
- 3mm joints are set on various parts throughout the model for customization options.
- The Camera Eye is recreated with clear parts.
- The multi-colored plastic of the kits will give the model a striking appearance simply by assembling the model.
- The kit includes upgraded "Frame Arms Hand Parts" that are easy to change out and can used to securely display the weapon parts.

Assembly Guide
Skill Level 3:
Basic Skills Required
Kits rated as skill level 3 are traditional model kits that require all basic modeling skills to complete. This includes cutting parts from runners and trimming or sanding them prior to use, assembling them with cement, and the use of paint to complete them.
To properly complete a level 3 kit, you should have at least a basic set of modeling supplies, including plastic nippers, a hobby knife, files and/or sandpaper, plastic cement, instant (cyanoacrylate) cement (for resin, soft-vinyl or metal parts), painting supplies including brushes, paint, thinner and masking tape, tweezers and possibly decal softener for applying decals to difficult areas.
Kits in this class are not suitable for small children unless there is complete parental supervision. Adults who have never before completed a plastic model kit may want to read one of the many excellent modeling guides available at most hobby shops before trying to build one of these kits.
Skill level 3 kits include a very large portion of our catalog. Most traditional plastic model kits fall into this category.
No Cement Required

This item does not require the use of cement to complete. Some modelers prefer to use cement on snap-together kits in order to fix them into a particular pose, or make a joint more secure. However, this is not required to complete these kits.
No Painting Required
This item does not require painting.

Either the item is completely pre-painted, such as an action figure or other completed figure, or it is molded in the colors of the finished item so that it appears natural after you have assembled it. Note that kits which are molded in their final colors will always look better when painted, even if this is not required. At the very least, a light coat of flat clear spray will make a science-fiction kit look much less toy-like after assembly. The same goes for some action figures as well.
