The basic kits of the late 1980s (routinely re-released by Bandai, with some exceptions) require cement and paint. Since the first Gunpla release, there has been a constant improvement in quality design, material and manufacturing technique by Bandai. Other scales include 1:200, 1:48, and the SD series. The kits range in different scales with the most popular scales being: 1:144 (approx 13 cm tall), 1:100 (approx 16–19 cm tall) and 1:60 (approx 30 cm tall). Smaller or lower grade kits often require paint to give the model a finished appearance. All Gunpla are supplied with stickers and sometimes decals to apply extra colors and markings as seen in the show, movies, manga or video games. The cover image on the box, or box art, is usually done by an illustrator with a picture illustration of the subject mecha design in action. Gunpla kits consist of several trays of parts or "runners" that either snap-fit (most post-1990 models) or require glue (older models prior to 1990) to put together. The first Gunpla kits were sold in 1980 in Japan. Gunpla are manufactured by Bandai in Japan, or China, which has an exclusive license in manufacturing and marketing the kits around the world. ![]() Gunpla gallery showing various grades and scales. 15 Bootleg Gunpla (pirated Gundam model kits).11.1 Action figures and completed models.10.11 Yokohama Walking Gundam Model Series.
