Bandai 5072569 Real Grade 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam Ver.2.0 - Hatsune Miku Edition  [B-5072569]

Overview: RG 1/144 RX-78-2 in a special finish

The RG 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam Ver.2.0 (Hatsune Miku Ver.) is released in the Real Grade 1/144 scale. Within the Universal Century continuity the RX-78-2 served as the Earth Federation Forces' prototype flagship created during the One Year War to merge mobility with modular armor and adaptable weapon options. In-universe it functioned as a development platform for internal-frame techniques and multi-role capability. The Ver.2.0 design emphasizes a fully articulated inner frame and refined outer armor; the Real Grade concept captures these features at 1/144 through tightly packed sub-assemblies and distinct panel separation, while the alternate color scheme applies new surface tones to the Ver.2.0 layout.

Construction level and needed tools

Difficulty: advanced. The kit contains many small parts and internal frame components that need careful handling. Recommended basic tools include hobby nippers for cutting parts from runners, a hobby knife for trimming, and tweezers to assist with small pieces during assembly.

Painting and finishing guidance

Recommended optional steps are seam cleaning, panel lining to accent engraved details, and a protective topcoat for a consistent sheen. For those refining the supplied color scheme, masking and controlled brush or airbrush application will help achieve a neater finish.

The kit pairs Ver.2.0 internal-frame mechanics with a themed paint treatment, resulting in compact articulation and strong panel separation ideal for display or detailed modelling work.
