Real Grade (RG) 1/144 Gundam Model Kits
Real Grade (RG) was introduced by Bandai in 2010 for the 30th Anniversary of Gunpla, created to deliver Master Grade style detail and engineering at a compact 1/144 scale. Designed as a premium evolution above High Grade, RG kits feature inner frames, advanced articulation, color-separated parts, and surface detailing inspired by real mechanical structure. Early releases used the Advanced MS Joint system for pre-built articulation, while newer kits feature improved stability and refined proportions. Standard RG kits include marking stickers only, with water-slide decals typically reserved for Premium Bandai or special editions. With panel lining and topcoat, RG models provide premium visual impact and a rewarding build experience without needing a large display footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Real Grade different from High Grade?
Real Grade (RG) kits are 1/144 scale like HG, but include advanced inner frames, high part density, and fine mechanical detail similar to Master Grade. They feature more articulation and realistic panel separation compared to HG kits.
Who manufactures the Real Grade line?
RG kits are developed and produced by Bandai Spirits, known worldwide for their engineering innovations in Gunpla model kits.
When was the Real Grade series introduced?
Bandai released the Real Grade line in 2010 for the 30th Anniversary of Gunpla, aiming to deliver MG-level detail in a compact scale.
Do Real Grade kits include decals?
Standard RG kits do not include water-slide decals. They come with stickers/marking seals only. Water-slides are usually available through third-party sheets or included in Premium Bandai/Gundam Base/limited edition releases.
Do RG kits require glue or paint?
No glue or paint is required. RG kits are snap-fit and color molded. Customizers often add panel lining, topcoat, and paint to enhance detail.
Are Real Grade kits beginner-friendly?
RG is recommended for intermediate builders. The small parts and inner frame complexity make them more challenging than HG, but rewarding for those with some experience.
What is the Advanced MS Joint?
The Advanced MS Joint is an articulated inner frame system used in early RG kits. Newer releases use refined frame engineering for better stability and articulation.
How tall is a Real Grade model?
Most RG kits stand around 12–15 cm (4.7–6 inches) depending on the mobile suit.
Are RG kits compatible with action bases?
Yes. RG kits work with Bandai 1/144 Action Bases for dynamic and aerial display posing.
