Bandai RG 1/144 Shining Gundam - Real Grade Model Kit

Bandai RG 1/144 Shining Gundam

Domon Kasshu's Shining Gundam from Mobile Fighter G Gundam arrives in Real Grade at 1/144 scale. Bandai built this kit around a movable frame, a Super Mode that needs no replacement parts, and deploying armour covers, so it holds the martial arts poses the series is known for.

Real Grade packs a lot of movement into a small kit. Bandai rates it for ages 15 and over, and expect small parts and moving gimmicks on the build.

What makes this kit special

  • Super Mode without swapping parts: Bandai says the whole body moves to reproduce Super Mode, and the head does not need to be replaced.
  • Deploying armour: The shoulder cover and arm cover deploy and retract, and the internal vernier is exposed when the leg cover opens.
  • Stable stances: The ankle cover rotates back while the toe extends forward, which helps in wide poses.
  • Movable frame: The frame is optimised for human-like movement, with a 3-axis neck and a swing mechanism for livelier poses.
  • Shining Finger hands: Dedicated hand parts are included, along with interchangeable hands to widen the poses.

What's in the box

  • Shining Gundam kit parts
  • Beam sword (2 types)
  • Hand parts (1 set, including Shining Finger hands)
  • Decals

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
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.
No Cement Required

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.

No Painting Required

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the RG Shining Gundam a beginner kit?

Bandai rates it for ages 15 and over. Real Grade kits have small parts and moving gimmicks, so some building experience helps.

How poseable is the built kit?

Bandai describes a frame optimised for human-like movement, a 3-axis neck with a swing mechanism, deploying shoulder, arm and leg covers, and interchangeable hands.

Do I need glue or paint?

No glue is needed for the general assembly, and the kit is moulded in colour. Nippers are needed to remove parts from the runners, and a decal sheet is supplied.

Amazing Build, my Grandson loved it!

I purchased this kit and one other for my grandsons birthday. He loved building it and found it easy to follow. My order arrived in super fast time and was beautifully packed. It even had some wonderful freebies in the box which was really great. Excellent product and service in every way!

Awesome kit, great extras. Only criticism is that the kit comes with a base so you don't need the second one. The kit also doesn't have the ability to take the blue LED bonus so if you don't have another use for it it is wasted. Luckily, I'm a Gundam tragic so will always have uses for extra bases and lighting kits.

Excellent service and fast delivery

I purchased on 6 Jan and my order arrived on 13 Jan. It was very well packed, with both boxes in excellent condition. Cam even provided a small free gift in the box! Overall purchasing experience was smooth and hassle-free. I haven’t had the chance to build the kit yet, but based on the service and care taken with shipping, I would happily purchase from this store if there are other Space Battleship Yamato models available.

Very rare with fair price

If you were one of the lucky ones that were able to travel to Sydney Gundam Base pop-up in 2025 and queued extremely early (like the first 40 or so) on the first day, probably you were able to grab one of these. Otherwise, the only alternative I would know of is traveling to Japan and being uber lucky of having it still being sold at Gundam bases. Otherwise, it's a second-hand market, and prices will go up. That said, the price was fair, I think it would be similar price as using a dropship service from Japan, with the exception that it's much faster and way more guaranteed you will get proper merchandise. So, Mecha Express, Cam, thank you so much for your store!
