Bandai 1/144 RG Evangelion Unit-02 Production Model
The Bandai 1/144 RG Evangelion Unit-02 Production Model is a Real Grade model kit recreating Asuka Langley Soryu's iconic red Evangelion from Neon Genesis Evangelion, built with Bandai's advanced RG inner frame system that delivers exceptional detail and articulation at 1/144 scale. This kit captures Unit-02's distinctive red and orange armour, aggressive combat proportions, and bio-mechanical construction with the surface detail and engineering depth that the Real Grade line is known for. The Production Model designation refers to the standard Unit-02 configuration as it appears throughout NGE - distinct from the Beast Mode and other variant configurations.
This kit is designed for intermediate builders and features snap-fit assembly with no glue required.
What sets the RG Evangelion Unit-02 Production Model apart is the combination of Real Grade inner frame engineering and Unit-02's aggressive, combat-forward design that makes this one of the most dynamic Eva kits to pose and display. The RG inner frame provides a fully articulated skeleton beneath the armour panels, supporting the wide-range combat poses that define Asuka's fighting style - from dual-weapon combat stances to the aggressive forward-leaning attack positions she favours in the series. The red and orange colour separation is achieved through moulding without painting, and the surface detail across the armour panels rewards close inspection. This is best suited for Evangelion fans who want the most detailed 1/144 Unit-02 available and intermediate builders who want a more challenging and rewarding build than a standard HG kit.

Builder Notes:
A rewarding build that shares the strong colour separation and posability of the other RG Eva releases. A few things worth knowing before you start.
Parts within the arm assembly can fall out during posing due to the way the inner structure is connected. If sections drop free repeatedly, apply a thin layer of plastic cement to the relevant peg and allow it to set completely before reassembling. Nail polish works as an alternative using the same method.
The eye stickers are very small and reflective, which makes placement and adhesion fiddly. Applying a light topcoat to the surface before placing the sticker will improve adhesion. Following up with another topcoat after application will help prevent the corners from curling over time.
The parts throughout this kit are on the smaller and more delicate side. Work methodically and keep loose parts somewhere safe as you go.
