OPTION HAND PARTS [WHITE/BLACK]

What the set is for

With built models of characters and robots the final impression is often decided by the position of the hands alone. A clenched fist, an open palm or fingers shaped to hold a weapon give the same figure a completely different expression, which is why add-on hands are sold separately. They are usually swapped at the wrist, so they can be tried out on a finished model until the pose is right.

About the item

This is an add-on set of hand parts, not a kit of a character. The name gives a white and a black finish; whether the package holds both colors, how many pairs of hands are in it and which gestures they cover are given in the manufacturer's instructions. The name gives neither the scale nor the line of models the set suits, so compare the details on the box against the manufacturer's instructions before buying. Without that check there is no guaranteeing that the parts will seat on your model.

Building tips

Cut the surplus material away with a sharp blade a little from the part and sand the trace of the cut back, or the hand will bind at the wrist. Wash and degrease the plastic before painting. The fingers and the palm are among the finest parts of the whole model, so lay the paint on in thin coats, or the division between the fingers will be drowned. If you want to swap the hands later as well, leave the joint at the wrist unglued.
