Review of the Coronavirus Infection Prevention Kit Guard with a Plastic Face Shield Model

These days, we hear or don't hear about how demand for plastic models is on the rise due to people staying at home due to the coronavirus pandemic, but we'd like to introduce a new kit that combines a plastic model with a virus infection prevention item.

PULUM Kit Guard (Clear)

Package

First, the packaging.
It comes in a blister package, and it seems to be intended for sale in the general merchandise section rather than the plastic model section.

The list price is 1500 yen (excluding tax).
I bought it from AmiAmi for 1400 yen, which is on the expensive side for this type of face shield.

Cool and Safe

I feel like wearing a face shield doesn't make me feel cool at all...

Droplet infection preventionThe letters are written in large letters.

"Fashionable"...

Runner status

It consists of two runners, one face guard, and one mouth guard.
This is a compatible kit that includes a face shield and a mouth guard.

The back of the package contains assembly instructions.

The gate is a touch gate that can be torn off by hand, so as shown on the package, it can be assembled without pliers.
Since this is a kit of everyday items, it is a product that can be approached by people who have never built a plastic model before, so these user-friendly specifications are important.

In the template partPULMThe mold is.

The elevation change on this runner is great.

Because it is meant to be worn on the face, it is a gentle kit with many rounded parts, but you can also enjoy tight parts such as this clip.

The highlight for me is the difference in the clip height. It's really cool.

The joint parts have different shapes depending on the area they are used in, so they cannot be fitted incorrectly.

Completed state

It's a simple assembly.
The shield is not installed.
It says it takes 2 minutes to assemble, but if you've never worked with plastic models before, it may take a little longer.
There are no difficult steps. If I had to say anything, it might be that the joint parts on the temples are a little stiff to attach.

The temples can be rotated 360°, allowing for a variety of different looks.

By turning the T-shaped part upside down and attaching it, it will become mouse shield mode.

Tissues or gauze can be attached using the clip parts.
Customize it to your liking!!

This concludes the review of the face shield kit.

The precision of each part is impeccable, and it is a workmanship that is typical of PLUM.A kit that can be assembled and stackedIt seems to be.
However, while the price is not particularly high for a kit made in Japan using a new mold, it is expensive for a face shield. This makes me wonder if it will be an item purchased by nerds who like unusual plastic models, rather than the general public. It's a shame, considering that this kit is designed with beginners in mind.

By the way, I found out after I bought it that it can be worn while wearing glasses."Kit Guard M"Are also sold.
