Pokemon Charizard & Dragonite Model Kit

(2 customer reviews)

$16.99

Charizard, the Flame Pokemon, and Dragonite, the Dragon Pokemon. This pair of iconic Generation I Pokemon are now available in Pokepla form, thanks to this combo pack from the modeling masters at Bandai! These winged beasts come molded in two different shades of orange, despite sharing a similar overall color palate. Both Charizard & Dragonite saw individual releases way back in 2013 as a part of Bandai’s Pokepla Evolution line. The Charizard model in this latest release features a redesigned head and new arms, while the Dragonite model remains unchanged. This Pokepla combo pack is the perfect way to begin your journey to Catch ’em All!

Articulation –

Both Charizard & Dragonite feature multiple articulation points throughout their bodies, allowing builders to create unique poses for their favorite Pokepla models! Both models feature posable arms, legs, wings, necks, jaws, and tails! With both models requiring less than 40 pieces each, this build will be no problem for modelers of any skill level or an excellent choice to build with a young Pokemon fan who may need help during assembly. These Pokepla models still require the application of foil seals for complete color accuracy, including the large blue sections of their wings. The reliance on stickers and reasonable price of the Pokepla Charizard & Dragonite combo set makes it the perfect candidate for first-time painters looking to practice their techniques.

Description

Bandai’s line of Pokemon model kits offers a fun and exciting building experience for all ages! Even first-time builders will have no problem with the Pokemon Charizard & Dragonite thanks to its reasonable piece count and easy-to-follow instructions. Additionally, the excellent price point of the Pokemon model kits makes them perfect candidates for experienced builders to try out new modeling techniques.

To drastically improve the appearance of your Pokepla, try implementing techniques such as seam line removal. Many of the early Pokemon models show some significant seam lines on visible parts, which some builders find undesirable and can lead to the separation of pieces over time. For a quick tutorial, attach the component you’d like to cement together, but leave a small but visible gap where the seam you’re trying to eliminate is. Using plastic cement such as AK’s Extra Thin Citrus Cement (which does indeed smell like citrus), run the applicator brush through the gap you created, filling it with a small amount of cement. After a few seconds, attach the parts all the way and hold while the cement works its magic. After the piece dries completely, begin sanding away at the seam and watch it disappear! It may take more than one application of cement to eliminate the seam, so try working on multiple pieces at once to increase efficiency. If you are not planning on painting the model, the seams may require additional sanding/polishing to match the texture of the bare plastic. Seam line removal is a great technique to learn, but it isn’t a perfect solution. Some of the seams are necessary for the model to articulate as intended, so find the right balance between a seamless static look and a functional model.

Be sure to finish your model with your preferred top coat to protect your hard work and give it a better feel in the hands!
