A much-anticipated release, Bandai's Master Grade kit of the G-Fighter from the seminal first "Mobile Suit Gundam" anime has landed! The air support unit is perfectly represented as this sharp snap-fit plastic kit that also boasts impressive realistic mechanical detail, right down to the insides of its container compartment and main generator!
G-Fighter consists of two main separable components: G-Part A and G-Part B. Both parts are made to combine with the MG RX-78-2 Gundam Ver.2.0 kit (sold separately) to form its six G-Modules: G-Bull, G-Bull Easy, G-Armor, G-Fighter, G-Sky, G-Sky Easy, and Gundam High Mobility Type (Gundam Sky). The G-Fighter can also be used as a Sub Flight System whereby the Gundam stands atop the spacecraft with stoppers holding its feet in place. Accessories include a shield, Hyper Hammer, landing gears, and a support arm attachment that connects to Action Base 1 Gray (sold separately) for mid-flight displays. Also provided are same-scale figures (molded in white) of Sayla Mass and Sleggar Law (both characters in standing and sitting poses), plus two crew members.

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.
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.
Confirm if the MG G-Fighter you're looking at comes with its detachable G-Armor counterpart or is sold separately. Knowing the package contents helps manage expectations and budget.
Ask about the level of detail in the G-Fighter's cockpit and interior. Does it have seats, instruments, or control panels? Can it accommodate a pilot figure for added realism? Knowing the interior details helps decide if it suits your desired level of cockpit representation.
Ask about the complexity of the transformation process and the stability of the combined G-Armor flight mode. Are the connection points secure and easy to manipulate? Knowing the transformation ease and potential fragility helps manage expectations.
Confirm if the MG G-Fighter comes with any weapons like beam guns or bombs, or additional accessories like landing gear or display stands. Knowing the included extras helps evaluate the overall features and display options.
Ask about the number of parts, complexity of construction techniques, and any specific challenges to look out for compared to other MG kits. Knowing the build difficulty helps you decide if it's suitable for your current Gunpla experience.
