Great base, although having it at a significant height means having to centre the model so as to not tip it over.

Read MoreGunpla (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.
The titanium finish isn't actual titanium, but rather a special coating that gives the appearance of the coveted metal. This coating creates a captivating sheen that elevates the RX-78-2's look and makes it a luxurious collector's item.
While the specific care instructions might differ slightly, the overall maintenance shouldn't be significantly more complex. It's still recommended to handle the model with care during assembly and posing, just like any other Gunpla kit.
The main difference is the aesthetic. The Limited Edition features the special titanium finish and additional gold plating on the neck and chest for a more premium look. Functionally, both versions should offer the same level of articulation and poseability for recreating iconic scenes.
The Master Grade (MG) line is known for its intricate details and complexity compared to simpler High Grade (HG) kits. While experienced modelers will enjoy the build process, beginners might want to consider starting with an HG kit to build their skills before tackling this more advanced MG model.
Being a Gundam Base exclusive with a special finish, this RX-78-2 is likely to be a popular choice for collectors. There's a chance it could sell out, so if you set your heart on this unique version, it's best to secure your model as soon as possible.
