This Master Grade release captures the RX-78-2 Gundam equipped with additional armour plating and weapons systems designed for extended combat operations in space. It's the definitive version of the One Year War's most heavily armed Earth Federation mobile suit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit includes approximately 300 parts and features snap-fit construction with no glue required. The Master Grade engineering is designed for intermediate to advanced builders with previous Gunpla experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe build centres on the removable armour system that allows display in standard RX-78-2 Gundam mode or fully equipped Full Armor configuration. You get the beam rifle, hyper bazooka, dual beam sabers, shield, dual shoulder cannons, chest cannon, and multiple missile pods. The colour separation delivers the Full Armor Gundam's white, red, blue, and yellow scheme with minimal painting needed. The engineering features a fully articulated inner frame that maintains Master Grade posability even with all armour panels and weapons attached. The armour panels attach securely but remove cleanly to reveal the standard Gundam underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes This Kit
