Assembly Notes and Finish

Assembly uses snap-fit joints for quick, glue-free construction and good alignment. Paint and panel lining are optional but recommended to bring out panel detail and mechanical depth. Applying the water decals with care and a setting solution will produce the most authentic finish for display.

In summary, the Bandai HG 1/100 VF-31J Siegfried offers a compact but detailed build with waterslide decals that enhance display quality, making it a solid pick for a Macross collection.

Basic hobby tools help a lot: sprue cutters for removing parts, a fine file or sanding sticks for cleanup, and tweezers for decal placement. A hobby knife is useful for trimming small tabs.
No, the kit includes color-separated parts so it can be assembled without paint. However, paint, washes, and panel lining will greatly enhance contrast and detail for display.
Soak decals briefly in water, slide them into position with tweezers, then use decal setting solution to conform them to surface details. Finish with a clear coat to protect the decals.
Yes, the snap-fit design keeps assembly straightforward, but beginners should take their time with part cleanup and decal work to get the best result.
