Series Assembly Guide FAQ

Bandai 1/100 MG RX-78-5 Gundam

From the Gundam 'gaiden' ('side stories'), Bandai brings us the stunning RX-78-5 Gundam G05 in nothing less than a Master Grade kit. Made up of 12 runners of injection plastic and one runner of polycaps, with two small sets of decals for detail, this is easily one of the most complex of the Gundam versions. Have fun putting it all together, especially that Giant Gatling! Lots of poseability thanks to polycaps at the joints.

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.
No Cement Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

No Painting Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Gundam series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Gundam kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the "Gundam Unit 5" design compared to the anime?

Ask about the level of detail and accuracy in the armor shapes, beam rifle design, and overall proportions compared to the RX-78-5's appearances in the Gundam "gaiden" series. Knowing the design fidelity helps manage expectations for die-hard fans.

Does the kit include the Mega Beam Launcher and all the other weapons shown in pictures?

Confirm if the MG RX-78-5 comes with the iconic Mega Beam Launcher, the Hyper Beam Rifle, Beam Sabers, and any other optional weapons pictured. Knowing the complete arsenal ensures you get the full combat and display experience.

How complex is the transformation process from mobile suit to flight mode?

Ask about the number of transformation steps, the stability of the flight mode, and if any specific techniques are required. Knowing the complexity and ease of transformation helps manage expectations and potential frustration.

Is the pre-painting high quality and consistent, or is it unpainted for customization?

Confirm if the MG RX-78-5 comes pre-painted, and if so, how smooth and consistent the finish is. If unpainted, clarify the material compatibility for your preferred paints. Knowing the painting requirement helps plan your building approach.

Are there any upgrade parts or expansion sets available for the MG RX-78-5 specifically?

Ask if there are separate parts sets or kits designed for the RX-78-5, like additional weapons, effects parts, or alternate armor pieces. Knowing the upgrade options inspires future possibilities for your "Gundam Unit 5" customization.
