Description

This is an injection-plastic figure kit.

From the Good Smile Company website:

The popular characters from the "Strike Witches" anime series, movie, novels and manga are joining the minimum factory series! The second to join the ranks of the 1/20th scale plastic model kits is the reliable commander of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing - Mio Sakamoto!

The model kit has parts separated into different colors, meaning that just putting the model together looks great even without the need for paint. Decals for her eye and eyepatch are included, as well as decals for various other markings. Her Strike Unit is the "Shiden Kai 5th Model", and she is equipped with a modified Type 99-2 Model Two 13mm machine gun in her right hand and her Reppumaru sword in her left hand. A special stand to display her flying is also included.

Assembly Guide

Skill Level 2:

Easy to Complete

Skill Level 2 kits require basic plastic model assembly techniques, such as cutting parts from the runners, and cutting or sanding away the remains of the gates (the place where the part was connected to the runner). Some kits in this level also provide stickers for some markings. Most level 2 kits do not require cement or paint, but be sure to read any additional information provided to be sure. To nicely complete a level 2 kit, you will want to have a pair of plastic nippers for cutting parts from the runners, and a fine file, sandpaper or hobby knife for cleaning the gates. In some cases, a pair of tweezers makes applying stickers easier. Most adults with no prior modeling experience would have no trouble completing a kit of skill level 2. Parents would probably want to assist younger children with a kit of this level if they have never built one before.

Cement Required

cement

This item requries the use of cement (glue) to complete. For injection-plastic kits, use the weld-type clear cement specifically designed for use on styrene plastic. For some smaller parts, you may wish to use instant type (cyanoacrylate) glue. For resin, white metal, soft vinyl and photo-etched materials, the use of instant type cement is strongly recommended.

A SAFETY NOTE ABOUT INSTANT CEMENT

Parents and all modelers should note that instant cement (cyanoacrylate) bonds skin instantly. While this in itself is not harmful, forcibly attempting to pull the skin apart can tear the skin and cause injury. If you or your child happens to inadvertenly glue themselves with instant cement, don't pull, but use remover for instant cement, or nail polish remover to dissolve the bond instead.

Painting Required

This model kit or accessory must be painted in order to achieve a realistic appearance.

Paint

While there are slight differences depending on the country you live in, there are generally three types of paint available for modeling: Acrylic, Enamel and Lacquer. Their characteristics are described below.
