RG 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam : WIP #01

This kit is to commemorate Gundam's 30th anniversary & to mimic the 1/1 scale RX-78-2 at Shizuoka.

Been excited about this kit ever since it was announced few months ago.

I'm not a fan of 1/144 scale gunplas mainly because of its articulation & details are not as good as an MG. Yes, there are a few that came out with better articulation, but none came close in detail than the RG.

RG or Real Grade is a grade higher than HGUC in 1/144 scale. Theres a lot of parts that make up for the panels etc. Its like building an MG (Master Grade) but in smaller scale.

Contents. Lots of runners for a 1/144 scale.

Few molds combine to make up one part on a runner/sprue.

These are the hands. Fingers are bendable.

This part is the legs.

RX-78-2 frame.

Foil stickers. Need to be very delicate.

Using a toothpick to smooth out the stickers.

Core Fighter, done.

Right arm, done.

For this particular kit, I won't be painting the parts.

Next up will be the stickers/decals & panel lining.
