Master Grade Assembly for the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam

The Bandai MG 1/100 RX-0 Unicorn Gundam gives both experienced builders and newcomers a hands-on, rewarding assembly process. This Master Grade kit recreates the iconic mobile suit with a focus on mechanical detail and precision fit, reflecting the transforming nature seen in the "Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn" storyline.

Assembly Difficulty and Recommended Approach

As a Master Grade kit, this model features a higher part count and detailed engineering that reward careful, patient work. The design uses undergating to reduce visible nubs, helping you achieve a cleaner finish without excessive sanding. Newcomers should proceed methodically and take time to test-fit parts before final assembly.

Poseability and Display Considerations

Poseability is a key strength of the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam, with engineered joints that allow for fluid articulation and a wide range of stances. The transformation between standard and Destroy modes is built for stability, so you can display the model in different configurations while maintaining balance and pose integrity.

Parts Separation and Finishing Options

Color separation is handled well to minimise the need for painting, while panel lining and waterslide or dry-transfer decals can add depth to the finished model. The kit offers a solid platform for custom paintwork and detailing for builders who want to take the look further.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/100
  • Grade: Master Grade
  • Build Level: Advanced

The Bandai MG 1/100 RX-0 Unicorn Gundam is a satisfying project for builders seeking a mechanical, display-ready model that balances complexity with thoughtful engineering.

Build time varies by experience and finishing choices, but expect several sessions for construction and additional time for panel lining or decals. Rushing can lead to alignment issues, so plan your work in stages.
Basic tools like nippers, a hobby knife, tweezers, and fine files are essential. Sandpaper or sanding sticks and panel lining markers or washes will help achieve a professional finish.
No, the kit's colour separation reduces the need for painting. However, selective paint and weathering can significantly enhance realism if you want a display-grade finish.
The joints and transformation features are engineered for repeated use, but avoid forcing parts and keep screws or polycaps maintained to preserve function over time.
