- Which sci-fi franchises does Wonderland Models stock model kits for?
Our sci-fi range includes licensed kits from franchises such as Star Wars and Star Trek, alongside original Japanese mecha designs including Gundam. Availability shifts with new film and show releases, so it’s worth checking our Sci-Fi Models shelf regularly for new arrivals. Popular anniversaries and new releases tend to sell through quickly.
- Do sci-fi model kits snap together or need cementing?
Both build methods are available: Gundam kits from Bandai famously use a snap-fit system with no glue required, while many licensed film and TV kits from Revell and Airfix follow the standard cement-and-paint process. Always check the product description to see which method applies before you buy.
- Are glue and paint included with sci-fi kits?
Standard cemented sci-fi kits are unpainted, with glue and paint sold separately from our Glue and Model Paints & Varnishes ranges. Snap-fit Gundam kits, by contrast, use coloured plastic so no paint is strictly required, though many builders still paint and panel-line them for extra detail.
- What scale are sci-fi model kits?
Gundam kits are most commonly found in 1:144 and 1:100 scale, while licensed vehicle and starship kits vary widely depending on the source material, from small desktop pieces to large display centrepieces. Check the stated scale and finished dimensions on each listing before ordering. This matters more for sci-fi than most genres, since screen vehicles vary enormously in size.
- Which brands make sci-fi model kits?
Bandai leads the way for Gundam and mecha kits, while Revell and Airfix cover licensed film and television subjects. Between them, these three brands account for the majority of sci-fi modelling at Wonderland Models.
- Are Gundam kits beginner friendly?
Yes, Gundam’s snap-fit “Gunpla” system is one of the most beginner-friendly entry points into modelling, needing no glue and only basic tools to get a great-looking result straight away. Entry-level High Grade kits are the easiest place to start, with Master Grade and Perfect Grade ranges offering more detail for experienced builders. It’s a genuinely good first kit for anyone put off by traditional cement-and-paint building.
- How do I display my finished sci-fi model?
A clear acrylic display case or stand keeps fine antennae, weapons and small greebles free from dust and accidental knocks. Many collectors use action-style stands for posable Gundam kits, letting the figure be displayed mid-action rather than standing flat. Choose a case sized generously if you plan to add more kits to a shared display over time.
