I’ve had this
kit already for almost a year and a half. It was a present from my best friend
last December 2011. Although I don’t have any plans to build it, since I only
prefer to build Master Grade (MG) kits or any 1/100 kits. However, since the
announcement of RX-78 MG 3.0, I got curious on people talking about that this
will be the start of Real Grade kits in 1:100 scale. Sounds very interesting,
preferred scale, preferred to build. Anyway, let’s try to build this kit.
No
wonder that it was embodied with excitement. The articulation is the best and
the color separation of parts is what I’ve really like so far. The ABS
rubberish frame is unique as well. But I have a quick question that flicked
into my mind. If this will be the trend of the upcoming MG kits or for newer version
of the old produced kits, is there anything else that I can do with it or just
paint it out of the box (OOTB).
Do not get me wrong with these
guys. As a modeler, a scale modeler, or whatever you wanted to call it, my
eye-opener on this hobby was when I saw a bad-ass MG Infinite Justice that was
still in work-in-progress on the internet. In which at first, I never thought
that I can do it as well. But I guess learning is an everyday routine in our
lives. To cut this short, maybe I can say that I prefer the old kits, wherein I
can integrate my own concept, modification and detail add-ons to them.
