Step by step with the MG 1/100 RX-78-2 Gundam Ver. 1.5

This Master Grade RX-78-2 variant updates the iconic suit with engineering aimed at improved articulation and cleaner assembly. The kit retains the familiar design while adding features that help achieve more dynamic presentation options.

Pose range and panel work

The revised joint architecture expands pose possibilities while keeping poses secure on display stands. Detailed part splits and engraved panel lines create visual depth that responds well to panel lining and weathering techniques.

Recommended experience and toolkit

Suited for builders with a moderate skill set, the kit benefits from common modelling tools. Keep side cutters, a fine hobby knife, sanding pads, and precision tweezers on hand for neat builds.

Surface preparation and final touches

Sanding the nubs and using panel wash will highlight details. Seal the build with a satin or gloss topcoat depending on the desired display effect, and protect decals with a clear layer.

The MG 1/100 RX-78-2 Gundam Ver. 1.5 is a solid choice for modellers who want a balance of character accuracy and modern build refinement, delivering a satisfying finished model.
