Assemble the MG 1/100 RX-78-02 Gundam from Gundam The Origin

The Bandai 5062847 MG 1/100 RX-78-02 Gundam from Gundam The Origin delivers a hands-on, detailed build that rewards careful assembly. This Master Grade release upgrades joint engineering to let modellers achieve energetic and balanced poses of the classic mobile suit.

Joint Upgrades and Build Design

Improved ankle and knee linkages give the RX-78-02 better ground contact and stance stability. Sliding thigh armour and revised joint geometry increase leg articulation, which helps when setting up sword stances or action displays.

Weapon Set and Effect Parts

The kit ships with a range of weapons including a beam rifle, an early-type beam rifle, shoulder cannon, hyper bazooka and a shield. Beam sabers and firing effect parts are included to enhance dioramas, and there is space to fit an optional LED unit in the camera eye for subtle illumination.

Skill Level and Recommended Tools

Rated at a moderate build level, this MG is suitable for intermediate builders and above. Keep side cutters, a hobby knife, sanding sticks and fine files on hand for clean part separation and fitting.

Surface Preparation and Finishing Advice

Light sanding of nubs followed by panel lining will bring out surface detail. Applying decals and a protective topcoat will improve longevity and provide a consistent finish for display.

This Bandai 5062847 MG RX-78-02 is a great pick for builders who want a classic silhouette with modern articulation for expressive posing and display work.
