Gundam Model Kits & Mecha Models

Build iconic mobile suits and mecha with Gundam model kits from MegaHobby. Gundam modeling combines science-fiction design with hands-on assembly, giving builders the opportunity to create detailed mechanical subjects that can be enjoyed as building projects, customized models and display pieces.

Gundam kits have developed a dedicated following among builders who enjoy articulated mechanical designs, layered armor, distinctive weapons and the wide variety of mobile suits found throughout the Gundam universe. Whether you're discovering Gundam modeling for the first time or adding another mobile suit to an established collection, each kit provides a new project for the workbench.

Build Gundam Models Your Way

One of the attractions of Gundam modeling is the range of ways a builder can approach a project. A kit can be assembled for a clean out-of-box display or become the starting point for additional detailing, panel work, painting, weathering and customization.

Builders can concentrate on careful assembly and posing, refine small details for a cleaner appearance, or create a completely customized finish. That flexibility allows Gundam kits to appeal both to newcomers who want an enjoyable assembly project and experienced hobbyists who want a platform for more advanced techniques.

Gundam Models for New Builders

If Gundam is your introduction to model building, the project can help develop many of the same basic skills used throughout the hobby: reading instructions, identifying parts, carefully removing components, cleaning attachment points and assembling sections in the correct sequence.

Browse Tools & Supplies for cutters, hobby knives, sanding products and other equipment used during model assembly. A good pair of cutting tools and careful cleanup can make a noticeable difference in the appearance of a finished model.

Paint & Customize Gundam Kits

Builders who want to go beyond the kit's original molded colors can explore the MegaHobby Paint Store for model paints, primers, clear finishes and other finishing products. Painting gives builders the opportunity to refine the original color scheme, reproduce a particular appearance or create a custom mobile suit of their own.

For sprayed finishes, visit Airbrushing for airbrushes, compressors and accessories. Masking products from Masking & Finishing Tape can also be useful when creating controlled color separations and custom paint schemes.

Weathering & Mechanical Finishing

A Gundam model does not have to look factory fresh. Builders interested in a more operational appearance can explore Weathering Products for techniques and materials used to create wear, grime, staining and other effects.

Subtle weathering can emphasize mechanical details and armor surfaces, while heavier finishing can create the appearance of a machine that has seen extensive use. The amount of weathering is entirely part of the builder's creative approach.

Explore More Science Fiction Models

Gundam is only one part of the science-fiction modeling hobby. Explore Science Fiction Models for additional futuristic and fictional subjects, or browse Space Models for projects inspired by space and exploration.

Fans of specific science-fiction universes can also visit Star Wars Models and Star Trek Models.

From the Sprue to the Display Shelf

Gundam modeling can be as straightforward or as detailed as the builder wants it to be. Assemble a kit and enjoy the finished mobile suit, spend additional time refining every visible detail, or use the model as the foundation for an original customized project.
