Bandai 5062847 RX-78-02 Gundam MG 1/100 The Origin Kit  [B-5062847]

Constructing the MG 1/100 RX-78-02 Gundam from Gundam The Origin

The Bandai 5062847 MG 1/100 RX-78-02 Gundam recreates the look of Gundam The Origin while giving builders a rewarding assembly process. The Master Grade engineering focuses on articulation and poseability to match modern display standards.

Mobility Improvements and Structural Details

This version benefits from reworked knees and ankle joints that improve stance realism. Sliding panels on the thighs and smarter joint placement reduce stress during movement and make action poses more achievable.

Included Weapons and Display Extras

Included are the beam rifle, early-type beam rifle, shoulder cannon, hyper bazooka and shield, plus beam sabers and effect parts to illustrate firing. There is also provision for a small LED in the head for added realism.

Recommended Toolkit and Builder Level

Classed as a moderate build, the kit suits intermediate hobbyists. Essential tools include side cutters, a hobby knife and sanding tools for clean joins and part prep.

Painting Prep and Detailing Tips

Remove nubs with light sanding, then use panel lining to define details. Stickers or water-slide decals enhance markings, and a clear coat will protect paint and decals during display.

The Bandai 5062847 MG RX-78-02 blends period-accurate styling with modern articulation, making it a rewarding kit for modellers who enjoy posed scenes and display builds.
