Question 1

Do you have to put it together?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this is a plastic model kit, and not a figurine. Assembly is done without any need for paint or glue, though the artsier types may wish to touch up the paint job for a better finish. Less artsy perfectionists will likely wish to do the panel lining with an ultra fine dark grey or black marker. As a general rule, any Gundam product with a Grade is a kit, as is any product labeled Gunpla. This is MG, or Master Grade. http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Gunpla has a list of all Gundam Plastic Model grades, most every model of each grade, and their abbreviations. If you're looking for Gundam figures that don't require assembly, I'd check that link before purchasing any Gundam you find on Amazon to make sure it isn't a plastic model kit.

Question 2

Besides size, what are the differences between 1/100 and 1/144 as in posing easier, easier to put together, more joints, and so forth?

Accepted Answer

The difference between a 1/100 scale and 1/144 is size. 1/100 generally stand taller at around 6 inches while 1/144 stand at around 4-5 inches. 1/100 models have more detail and generally have more articulation especially when it comes to hands. 1/144 however can have an equal amount of detail but in less of the space. So it all really depends on how much you can handle taking the time to sit down and build. 1/100 models for me generally take 4 hours to complete, while 1/144 take me about 2. However, 1/100 are generally more expensive than 1/144 so if you want to be wallet friendly to yourself get the 1/144 of a model. If you got cash then go ahead and get the 1/100 because it's very much worth the effort you put into the model.

Question 3

Are the sword sheaths useable or are they just for show?

Accepted Answer

They are 100% usable!

Question 4

Will the "bandai 1/100 mg mbf-p02 flight unit expansion set for gundam astray red frame" work with this kit? they are both 1/100 scale.

Accepted Answer

it should, but as far as i know the pbandai flight unit does come with the square male peg that would fit the hole on astray’s back
