The one that started it all. The RX-78-2 is the original mobile suit and the perfect first Gunpla — Bandai's Entry Grade engineering means a satisfying snap-fit build with no glue, no paint and no tools, yet you still end up with that iconic silhouette on the shelf. Great for a first-timer, relaxing for a veteran.
At a glance

Why it's good

Build it out of the box for an instant classic, or use it as a canvas for panel lining and paint once you've caught the bug.
The definitive first Gunpla, no tools needed. Add a set of Vallejo Mecha Color paints and a panel-liner when you're ready to take it further.
