Building the RX-78-2 Ver.3.0 Master Grade

The RX-78-2 Gundam Ver.3.0 is presented as a Master Grade kit that showcases careful engineering and surface detail. Based on the classic Mobile Suit Gundam design, this kit suits modellers who enjoy a hands-on assembly experience and a platform for advanced finishing. The Ver.3.0 is prized for its improved articulation and intricate detailing that supports realistic modelling.

Fit quality and articulation highlights

Precision moulding gives the RX-78-2 Ver.3.0 clean part separation and reduced paint requirements. Accurate joins mean fewer visible gaps after construction, and the kit's mobility allows for expressive display poses that reflect the mobile suit's traditional range of motion.

Customising and finishing opportunities

With an exposed inner frame and numerous panel lines, this Master Grade offers a lot of scope for weathering, decals and fine paintwork. The gate locations are planned to favour undergating where possible, helping to achieve a smooth surface for high-detail finishing techniques.

Assembly pointers from experienced builders

Trim nubs carefully and use progressively finer sandpaper to preserve edges. Test-fit parts before gluing and use thin coats of primer for even paint coverage. Masking intricate areas during paintwork will retain sharp edges between colours.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/100
  • Grade: Master Grade
  • Build Level: Advanced

For model makers looking for a substantial MG challenge, the Bandai MG 1/100 RX-78-2 Gundam Ver.3.0 delivers detailed construction and rewarding customisation options.

The inner frame is supplied as multiple parts for assembly, giving access for painting and adding detail before final outer armor is attached.
Use fine brushes or a low-pressure airbrush for small panels. Masking tape is essential to keep clean lines, and thin paint layers help maintain engraved detail.
Decals provided are designed for the kit, but aftermarket waterslide options can offer more marking choices. Apply a gloss coat before waterslides to avoid silvering.
Avoid forcing extreme angles and check tightness of polycaps. For display, consider using a stand or limiting dynamic poses to reduce wear on connectors.
