Gundam Fans Unite
The Master Grade RX-79 Gundam is one of the best master grade models out there. Its fully poseable and comes with a great deal of weaponry. While paint is not required true gundam fans will find that paint makes the entire model look more authentic. And if you are crazy enough you can do battle damage to the model via a soldering iron (beam saber slashes with ash rubbed in to give it a burnt metal look). It is a great model but you must have nimble fingers to put all the small pieces together.
Humble model, great entertainment.
From 08th MS team Gundam series, this kit is made to look a bit humble but hides some good fun. In the animated series, this particular model is made from spare parts from the original Gundam project, which is why it looks the way it does. Don't let it fool you as it's a great Master Grade build, despite being over 5 years since it's debut. It's not made to have the flash or weaponry of the super gundams of late, such as the Wing Zero or Strike Freedom. It's made with the mindset of a kind of massed produced Gundam infantry. This is a model, not a toy, so one should be careful after completion as parts can wear out faster than most toys. The model itself is quite nice. Its basic design looks well thought out and is executed very nicely. It requires some screws, but if you're careful you can pull off a great model without painting or extreme detailing. It has great poseability and hides a very nicely done frame underneath the armor. Though it's a Master Grade, for the price, it beats a lot of High Grade models currently out now. The extra weapons backpack is a plus and sweetens the bargain a great deal. The sheer amount of pieces may seem daunting at first, but with a bit of patience it can be done (though it does take some time). As with a lot of Gundam models, it doesn't hold weapons very well, but I overlooked that considering the price. It takes hours to put together but I highly recommend it, even if it's your first Master Grade model.
Great Model
Great Model requires no glue or paint however additional model painting customizes appearance.
