Inside the Bandai MG 1/100 RX-78-4 Gundam kit

The Bandai MG 1/100 RX-78-4 Gundam is a standout Master Grade release, built for hobbyists who enjoy detailed assembly and precision modelling. Geared toward experienced builders, the kit draws on the Mobile Suit Variations line to reinterpret the classic RX-78-2 with alternate armaments and a distinct look.

Build process and finishing tips

As a Master Grade, the 1/100 RX-78-4 spreads parts across several runners, which calls for careful trimming and fit checks. The kit benefits from strong color separation so minimal painting is required, yet it also provides plenty of scope for panel lining and fine detailing. The undergating approach helps keep nub marks out of sight for a cleaner final finish.

Joint design and posing reliability

Engineering in this MG kit supports broad articulation, enabling aggressive and subtle poses alike. The elbow and knee joints give useful range of motion, while the overall frame holds poses reliably once set up. That balance makes it good for display or photography setups.

Personalising and upgrades

Builders who like to customise will find room to add weathering, decals, or aftermarket parts. The kit accommodates common upgrades and responds well to panel lining and subtle paintwork to emphasize the MSV styling.

Specifications

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

The Bandai MG 1/100 RX-78-4 Gundam rewards patient builders with strong detail and customisation potential, making it a solid choice for a Master Grade Gunpla display piece.

Build time varies by skill, but experienced builders can expect several focused evenings to complete assembly, plus additional time for panel lining and any paintwork.
Essential tools include a sharp nipper, hobby knife, sanding sticks, fine files, and a set of panel line markers. Tweezers and side cutters help with small parts.
No, the color separation is strong enough for a clean out-of-box look. Painting improves realism and lets you personalise the finish if you prefer a custom appearance.
A few third-party accessories fit MG RX-78 variants. Check compatibility notes before buying, and consider simple detail sets like metal vents or decal sheets for a quick upgrade.
