Bandai 1/144 HGUC RX-178 Gundam Mk II (AEUG) Revive

Bandai HGUC 1/144 RX-178 Gundam Mk II (AEUG) Revive

The HGUC 1/144 RX-178 Gundam Mk II (AEUG) Revive brings Kamille Bidan's stolen Earth Federation prototype into your collection with modern High Grade engineering. The Mk II is one of the most important mobile suits in the Universal Century timeline. It was the unit that kicked off the Gryps Conflict when the AEUG swiped three of them right out from under the Titans, and this Revive version updates the original HGUC release with improved proportions, better articulation, and cleaner part separation throughout.

The HGUC RX-178 Gundam Mk II (AEUG) Revive features updated proportions and joint engineering over the original HGUC release, with a full weapons loadout including Beam Rifle, Hyper Bazooka, Beam Sabers, and the Vulcan Pod system.

This kit is designed for beginner to intermediate builders. The Revive treatment means the joints move with noticeably more fluidity than the original kit, and the colour separation across the white and blue AEUG livery is clean throughout. The cockpit hatch opens to reveal the interior, and the full weapons loadout gives you plenty of posing options straight out of the box. A solid, satisfying build that holds up well on the shelf.

What Makes This Kit Special

  • Revive Engineering: Updated proportions and improved joint articulation over the original HGUC Mk II release for better posing range and shelf presence.
  • Full Weapons Loadout: Beam Rifle, Hyper Bazooka, Beam Sabers, and Vulcan Pod system all included for a complete combat display.
  • Opening Cockpit Hatch: The cockpit opens to reveal the interior detail, a nice touch for display.
  • AEUG Livery: White and blue colour separation accurately recreates the AEUG-painted Mk II as seen in Zeta Gundam.
  • Excellent Colour Separation: Parts moulded in accurate colours throughout, minimising the need for painting.
  • Snap-Fit Assembly: No glue required. Beginner-friendly build with clean part separation.
  • HGUC Grade Engineering: Modern High Grade engineering applied to one of the most iconic UC prototype designs.

Builder Notes

A solid Revive kit with good articulation and a strong weapon loadout. A few things worth knowing before you start.

The joints on this kit are initially very tight, particularly the shoulders. Do not force stiff joints. Work them gently and gradually until they loosen naturally. Forcing a tight ball joint risks snapping it at the socket, which is difficult to recover from.

The backpack attachment loosens with regular handling. If it becomes too loose to hold position, apply a thin layer of plastic cement to the connection point and allow it to set completely before reattaching. A second layer can be added if needed. Nail polish works as an alternative using the same method.

The waist connection is on the lighter side for posing. A fixed, stable pose suits this kit better than one requiring a pronounced waist twist.

The vulcan pod restricts head rotation. Factor this in when choosing a display pose, particularly if you want the head turned to the side.

The yellow details on the shield come as stickers. They look fine applied carefully, but painting them is worth considering for a cleaner long-term finish.

Assembly Guide

Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.
