FIRST TIME? 
Description
This is a posable, Master-Grade injection-plastic kit of an item from the Gundam universe.
Bandai's big Gunpla release of 2012 is old fan favorite Nu Gundam as drawn by famous Gundam artist Hajime Katoki. The original Master Grade Nu Gundam released way back in 2001 and a lot has changed in Gunpla engineering and the new Nu Gundam Ver Ka is an excellent example of just how far Bandai have come. Key features of the Nu include an all non-ABS plastic frame making it lighter, hidden green psycho frame that is exposed when certain sections of the armor seperate, the ability to take Bandai's LED to light up the head, water-slide decals for markings, and the option to build it as a twin Fin Funnel set up!

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.
