The Bandai RG #01 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam is the very first kit in the Real Grade line, originally released in July 2010 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Gunpla. This iconic 1/144 scale kit from Mobile Suit Gundam condenses Master Grade-level detail and articulation into a compact form standing approximately 125mm tall, featuring a pre-molded Advanced MS Joint inner frame and layered armor construction. As an RG kit, it is recommended for intermediate builders who enjoy detailed construction with small parts. Piloted by Amuro Ray during the One Year War, the RX-78-2 Gundam is the original hero mobile suit that defined the franchise.
