Description

The RX78-2 "gundam" was built in secret on side 7, in the hopes of building a super suit that could turn the tide of war. The earth federation was desperate for anything that could give them the edge with with the principality of Zeon. As fate would have it during the one year war a series of events lead to a teenage boy becoming its pilot. Amuro Ray and his RX78 would become legendary and bring a closure to the conflict(for a time). The rx78 was the pinnacle of mobile suit technology for its time, featuring great mobility, armor and weapon set. It could cut thru enemy zaku's like a hot knife, literary! While Amuro lost his in combat, the series of suit were very successful and enjoyed a long service.many variants were built for different roles and was replaced by the Mk2, zeta and zz gundam.

Here is my finished Bandai RG (real grade) 1/144 Rx78-2 gundam. Built outta the box with detail painting and weathering (overall colors are outta the box plastic and top coat) this kit was really impressive and wildly fun to put toghter. Featuring awesomesauce details, gimmicks and poseably. Its detail beats the snot outta a few of my MG gundams. The build was pretty relaxing for me and while I think I was a bit heavy handed with the weathering, I LOVE the look of this kit and it really shines in my collection.as you might of guess i had too much fun on the photos and it was really hard not to post all 90000000 action shots XD
overall the kit was great but did feature a few shortcomings(hands, fiddley bits,STICKERS, shield pegs etc.) but for the most part everything was excellent and really sold me on getting more RG models in the future(as there might be a freedom gundam in the stash now too)

As always questions,comments and suggestions welcome.
