The much awaited Real Grade RX-78-2 Gundam from Bandai that was released as part of the 30th anniversary of Gundam plastic model kits this year. Looking at the manual posted at Dalong I couldn’t help but be amazed at the detail and engineering that they had put in this kit. Of course I had to hope that they also execute this kind of craftmanship in their 1/100 lines *snicker* It was also announced that the next kit in this line would be the Zaku II of Char Aznable.
The Real Grade RX-78-2 Gundam is selling for 2500 yen at HobbyLink Japan, 1830 yen at Amiami, 2000 yen at Hobby Search.
Construction Manual and Color Guide for the Real Grade RX-78-2 was translated to English from the Japanese manual posted at Dalong’s Gunpla review site. For the meaning of the symbols found in the construction manual, kindly refer to this older post. Video review of the RG RX-78-2 Gundam can be found at HobbyLink TV
