Kotobukiya's simple yet sharply detailed kit of Gurren Lagann is a great opportunity for newcomers to learn basic modeling techniques, while also providing experienced modelers an enjoyable time. Ball joints are included for basic articulation at the neck, shoulders, hips, and ankles. Runners are molded in red, grey, and yellow. While paint is not required for this model, it will be necessary if you want show-accurate details, and certainly would add a realistic appearance to the final product. (The pictures shown below are of a completed and painted kit.) Instructions are in Japanese but are extremely well illustrated so anyone can follow them.
