Gundam Factory Yokohama SDCS RX-78F00 Gundam

The moving Yokohama Gundam, shrunk to SD Cross Silhouette size

This is the SD Gundam Cross Silhouette take on the RX-78F00, the full-scale moving Gundam that stood at Gundam Factory Yokohama. It was first sold at the Yokohama venue from December 2020 and later offered through Premium Bandai, and the Yokohama site closed for good on 31 March 2024. Bandai sculpted the exterior parts fresh for this kit rather than recolouring the standard SDCS RX-78-2, and one builder who compared the two found the rifle, shield and backpack differ from the regular release.

Build difficulty

Skill Level 1. Bandai lists the kit as snap-fit with no glue and no nippers needed, and rates it for ages 8 and up. One Japanese builder reported finishing it in about an hour straight from the box with no painting or panel lining. A foil seal sheet covers the small details. It suits a first SD kit or a quick evening build.

Technical highlights

  • Cross Silhouette frame included. The box states "CS frame included", and one builder write-up confirms there is no SD frame in the box.
  • Elbow and knee joints on a slim SD body, with slim proportions that one review notes sets it apart from the standard SDCS Gundam.
  • Five hand parts, including a hand shaped to grip the beam rifle, so it can hold its weapon without improvising.
  • Extra panel-line detail across the exterior for an SD-scale kit.

What makes this kit special

  • Based on a real moving Gundam: the design comes from the RX-78F00 at Gundam Factory Yokohama, the full-scale Gundam statue built to move.
  • All-new exterior parts: Bandai's own product text describes the armour as completely newly moulded for this release.
  • Cross Silhouette frame: a posable inner frame, as used across the SDCS line.
  • Limited venue release: a Gundam Factory Yokohama limited edition from a site that no longer operates.

What's in the box

  • Pre-coloured runners in white, red, blue, yellow, grey and black
  • Cross Silhouette frame parts
  • Beam rifle
  • Beam saber
  • Shield
  • Five hand parts: an open pair, a closed pair and one beam rifle grip hand
  • Foil seal sheet
  • Instruction manual

Not included: an SD frame, and the clear Action Base shown in Bandai's promotional photography (sold separately).

Compatible accessories

Bandai's promotional photography shows the kit posed on a clear Action Base, noting that the base is sold separately. It is not part of this kit.

What to watch for

Drawing on a review site and two Japanese builder blogs. Coverage of this specific kit is thin and mostly Japanese-language, so treat the points below as single-reviewer notes rather than confirmed patterns:

  • One builder found the shield mounts on the side of the arm or on the back connection point and cannot be held in the hand, which limits some poses.
  • One builder noted simple moulding on the head vulcans and lower backpack thrusters, and no colour separation on the rear waist armour.
  • One reviewer noted the beam saber on the backpack cannot be removed and is moulded in plain white, so it looks flat unless you paint it.

The write-ups we read were broadly positive about the all-new sculpt for an SD kit.

Build notes

No glue, and no nippers needed per Bandai, since parts come off by hand. A hobby knife is optional for tidying any leftover gate marks if you want a cleaner finish. The yellow cross on the shield is a foil seal, so take your time lining it up. Suitable for ages 8 and up per Bandai.

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
Skill Level.1. Most adults & children can assemble Skill Level 1 kits with little to no difficulty. Very basic hobby tools are recommended including a pair of nippers, a hobby knife, but are not essential. No Glue is needed for these kits. Kits are all snap together build and most parts can be removed by twisting and pushing without the need to snip with nippers.
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

What is the SDCS RX-78F00 Gundam?

It is the SD Gundam Cross Silhouette version of the RX-78F00, the full-scale moving Gundam that stood at Gundam Factory Yokohama. Bandai released it as a Yokohama limited edition in December 2020, and it was later offered through Premium Bandai.

Does it need glue, paint or nippers?

Bandai lists it as no glue and no nippers. The parts are pre-coloured and a foil seal sheet covers the small details, so no painting is needed for a clean build.

The Cross Silhouette frame parts, beam rifle, beam saber, shield, five hand parts (an open pair, a closed pair and a beam rifle grip hand), a foil seal sheet and the instruction manual. An SD frame and an Action Base are not included.

One Japanese builder review reports that the shield mounts on the side of the arm or on the back connection point rather than being held in the hand.

Is the SDCS RX-78F00 suitable for first-time builders?

Yes. It is Skill Level 1, snap-fit with no glue or nippers needed, and Bandai rates it for ages 8 and up. One builder reported about an hour from box to finished kit.

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!
