## Overview

The BANDAI 162027 RX-78-2 Gundam 1/48 Model Kit is a nearly 15-inch tall, snap-fit scale model celebrating 30 years of Gunpla. Featuring 21 runners of pre-colored plastic, a no-glue assembly with Wedge Gate technology, and a robust click mechanism for stable posing, it offers a stress-free build experience. Ideal for both beginners and seasoned modelers, it includes water slide decals and a detailed instruction manual, making it a perfect blend of ease, size, and customization potential.

## Description

This nearly 15 inch tall RX-78-2 Gundam commemorates the 30th anniversary of Gunplay. And it's taller and less expensive than a Perfect Grade for those wanting a simple giant RX-78-2 Gundam. Because of its "stress-free design", it is easy to assemble thanks to the "Wedge gate, " which offers a simple way to cut the parts off from the runners without extra tools. To accommodate the weight of the big size model, it has "click mechanism" in each poly-caps to maintain poses and "Frame lock" can reduce the risk of joining the wrong parts.

Review: BIG and fun. And perfect for painting, weathering or detailing. - Absolutely brilliant. A HUGE Gunpla, a simple build for the beginner, or for experienced modelmakers (like me) a huge canvas to paint and weather without a massive build time. So far my build time has been minutes, but the paint and weathering (still ongoing) is into weeks. An absolute blast, and the biggest gunpla you will get. More than worth the price. Also, waterslide decals are included, not stickers or dry-rubs. Thankfully. Seller - A++, fast delivery, very polite and beautifully packed. A pleasure to deal with.
Review: Great kit with fast delivery - A nice kit that's would go together well out of the box or work well with additional painting and weathering some as I did.
