PERFECT STRIKE GUNDAM

Perfect Strike - the machine with every attachment at once

The epithet Perfect marks the version in which the machine carries a combination of several interchangeable armament modules at the same time instead of choosing between them. The result is the most loaded form of this type, with wings on the back, a large weapon on one shoulder and a cannon attachment on the other.

Why it is the most extensive of its kind

Its scope puts the item among the three most extensive active items of the brand. Kits like this tend to be markedly larger than ordinary releases, they have a many-part inner frame, parts are sometimes joined with screws as well, and the build is counted in tens of hours. What you get is therefore not just size, but above all the number of separate mechanisms that have to be assembled and tuned.

What to prepare in advance

• Enough free surface: a class like this tends to have so many sprues that they will not fit on an ordinary table.
• Good single-blade nippers, as with a large part count the difference in the cleanliness of the cut adds up.
• A small screwdriver, if the release joins the frame with screws.

Displaying the finished build

The finished assembly is heavy and bulky, so count on a firm shelf and on room at the sides for the armament it carries. Handle it by the torso, never by the attachments on the shoulders. A closed case is practically a necessity with a surface this intricate, because dust is only removed from the many nooks with difficulty. A lens-cleaning blower is useful for blowing deposits out from between the attachments; compressed air from a can tends to be too fierce for the fine antennas.
