🏴☠️ The Flagship of the Red-Haired Pirates
The Red Force is the magnificent flagship commanded by Red-Haired Shanks, one of the most influential pirates sailing the seas of One Piece.
Its imposing design perfectly complements the reputation of its captain and crew, making it one of the most recognisable pirate vessels associated with the New World.
Bandai's Grand Ship Collection recreates the Red Force in a compact format designed specifically for building and displaying.
🐉 Impressive Dragon Figurehead
Dominating the bow is the Red Force's magnificent dragon-shaped figurehead.
It's one of the ship's most distinctive visual elements and immediately separates Shanks' vessel from other pirate ships in a One Piece collection.
Combined with the deep-red hull, wooden styling and white sails, the dragon gives the completed model an appropriately powerful presence despite its compact size.
🌴 Detailed Deck & Pirate Styling
Bandai incorporates numerous recognisable details into the model.
The Red Force features miniature palm trees decorating the aft deck, sculpted ship elements and detailed sails that help recreate the personality of Shanks' flagship.
Colour-separated components provide much of the visual contrast straight from the box, while the supplied stickers allow additional details and markings to be applied during the build.
🔧 Snap-Fit – No Glue Required
The kit uses Bandai's popular snap-fit assembly system.
Parts are engineered to connect through precisely designed tabs and joints, allowing the Red Force to be assembled without model cement or glue.
With approximately 60 parts, the build remains approachable while still providing the satisfying hands-on experience expected from a Bandai plastic model kit.
🎨 No Painting Required
The model's parts are already injection-moulded in different colours, allowing builders to achieve a colourful representation of the Red Force without painting.
Simply assemble the parts and apply the supplied decorative stickers for additional finishing details.
Experienced model builders can, of course, use the kit as a starting point for additional painting, detailing or weathering if they want to create a more customised Red Force.
🌊 Wave Effects Included
Take your completed Red Force beyond a conventional static ship display with the supplied translucent blue wave-effect components.
The removable waterline arrangement allows you to create a more dynamic presentation inspired by the ship sailing across the sea.
This gives collectors different ways to integrate the Red Force into a One Piece display without needing to construct a custom diorama.
📏 Compact 13cm Display Size
At approximately 13cm long when completed, the Red Force has been designed to provide plenty of character without consuming valuable display space.
Its compact dimensions make it ideal for:
- Manga bookshelves
- Anime display cabinets
- Desks
- Small collector shelves
-
One Piece ship collections
- Displays alongside character figures
Pair it with the Thousand Sunny and other Grand Ship Collection models to create your own miniature fleet.
🛠️ Beginner-Friendly Build
With an estimated build time of around 1–2 hours and an easy-to-intermediate difficulty level, the Red Force provides an accessible entry into Bandai model building.
A pair of model-making nippers or cutting pliers is recommended to cleanly remove the components from their plastic sprues.
No specialist painting equipment or glue is required for the standard build.
