Bandai MG 1:100 Gundam RX-78-2 Version 2.0 HC-MK61583

Bandai Gunpla MG 1:100 Gundam RX-78-2 Version 2.0 (HC-MK61583) is a snap-fit 1:100 plastic model kit based on the First Gundam from the 1979–80 Mobile Suit Gundam television series. This Version 2.0 release updates the Master Grade design with detailed proportions and a newly developed inner frame that allows more dynamic, realistic poses. The parts are moulded in colour, so no painting is necessary for assembly, although modellers can paint them for additional detail.

The transformable Core Fighter docks inside the Gundam to form the cockpit, while the inner frame is designed to retain movement when the aircraft is installed in the torso. This provides a working interpretation of the mobile suit’s distinctive cockpit arrangement without restricting its poseability. Snap assembly means glue or cement is not required, and the included step-by-step instruction manual guides the construction process.

Included Accessories

The kit provides a selection of equipment associated with RX-78-2, together with marking materials and unpainted figures. The beam rifle includes a removable super napalm attachment, while the shield, hyper bazooka, Gundam Hammer and beam javelin offer several display configurations. Two beam sabers are also included for recreating the mobile suit’s close-combat equipment.

• Transformable Core Fighter
• Beam rifle with removable super napalm attachment

Three unpainted 1/100 figures of Amuro Ray are supplied: two standing figures in casual wear and a pilot suit, plus one seated figure. The kit combines the recognisable RX-78-2 equipment with the construction approach and articulated inner-frame design associated with Bandai’s MG range.
