Learn how to install the EW 1/100 Astray Katana Expansion Part on your Gunpla. Step-by-step guidance for a secure, clean fit.
Quick answer
Prepare the mounting point, test-fit the EW 1/100 Astray Katana Expansion Part, then secure it with gentle pressure. Choose the Blue or Red color option to match your build.
Why the mounting point matters
The EW 1/100 Astray Katana Expansion Part is designed for 1/100 scale model kits, commonly used in Gunpla and Plamo projects. The most common installation issue is forcing the part onto an incompatible or misaligned peg, which can stress the plastic and loosen the connection.
Before you begin, identify the intended mounting point on your kit. If the peg or slot is not obvious, compare the expansion part's connector with the kit's existing hand or armor attachments. A clean, snug fit means the part is correctly oriented.
Color option and display trade-off
The expansion part is available in Blue and Red. Choose a color that matches your kit's existing accents or the weapon theme you want to create. Remember that the color is fixed, so repainting may be needed if you want a different finish.
Installation steps
- Prepare the mounting area: Clean the peg or slot on your 1/100 kit to remove dust or nubs. Use a hobby knife or file to trim any leftover plastic that could interfere with the fit. A clean mounting point prevents a loose or tilted katana.
- Test-fit the connector: Align the connector of the EW 1/100 Astray Katana Expansion Part with the mounting point. Gently press it into place without forcing. If it doesn't slide in easily, check the orientation and trim any obvious obstructions. If the part resists, stop and re-check alignment – forcing it can crack the plastic.
- Secure the katana: Once the connector sits flush, press firmly but evenly to seat the part fully. Rotate or adjust the katana to your preferred angle. If the connection feels loose, apply a tiny amount of hobby adhesive to the peg, but avoid getting it on visible surfaces. A snug, wobble-free fit means the katana is installed correctly.
