Assembly Instructions

The NZ-666 Kshatriya model kit is designed for snap-fit assembly, requiring no glue. A hobby nipper is recommended to cleanly remove parts from the runners. The plastic is pre-colored, minimizing the need for paint to achieve the intended appearance.

General Assembly Steps:

1. Carefully remove parts from the runners using a hobby nipper. Avoid twisting or pulling parts to prevent damage.
2. Follow the detailed diagrams in the included instruction booklet to connect parts. Pay close attention to part orientation.
3. Apply stickers as indicated in the manual for enhanced detail. For curved surfaces, apply stickers slowly and carefully to avoid creasing.
4. Assemble the main body, then proceed to the limbs, head, and finally the large wing binders.

Operating Your Model

The NZ-666 Kshatriya model features extensive articulation, allowing for a variety of dynamic poses. Its key features include:

• Articulated Joints: The model's arms, legs, and torso are designed with multiple points of articulation for posing.
• Massive Wing Binders: The four large wing binders are individually articulated and can be positioned to replicate various in-anime stances. They include locking tabs for stability, especially when balancing the model.
• Deployable Funnels: Each wing binder houses multiple funnels that can be individually deployed (though a separate display stand is required to show them in flight).
• Retractable Claws: The binders also feature retractable claws for close-quarters combat poses.
• Beam Sabers: The model includes two green beam sabers. While the hands are large, careful positioning may be required for a firm grip.

Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your model kit.

• Cleaning: Dust your model regularly with a soft brush or compressed air. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Handling: Handle the model by its main body whenever possible. Avoid excessive force on joints or delicate parts.
• Storage: Store the model in a stable, dust-free environment away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can cause plastic degradation or discoloration.

Troubleshooting

• Loose Joints: If joints become loose over time, a thin layer of clear topcoat or a small piece of tape can be applied to the peg to increase friction.
• Sticker Application Issues: For stickers on curved surfaces, use tweezers for precise placement and gently press down from the center outwards to remove air bubbles. A hobby knife can help lift and reposition if needed.
• Weapon Grip: If beam sabers do not hold firmly, a small amount of poster putty or a similar non-permanent adhesive can be used inside the hand to secure the weapon.
• Shoulder Armor Separation: Ensure the shoulder armor units are fully seated and locked into their connection points. If they frequently separate, inspect for any plastic burrs preventing a secure fit and carefully trim if necessary.
