  • The PG Red Comet is in need of an unleashed version... This was only my 2nd but favorite perfect grade build surpassing The PG Unleashed. Its definitely showing it's age and it's marred by more than a few connection points, even so its special to me

  • Good place to start LED unit in head can be a little tricky, the rest of the build was pretty straight forwad

  • Good place to start My first PG kit, hardest part was the LED unit in the head

The RX-78 Gundam is the iconic Gundam mecha design, introduced in 1979 in Yoshiyuki Tomino's and Sunrise's anime series Mobile Suit Gundam. In Mobile Suit Gundam, this suit is a prototype weapon for the Earth Federation. When it falls into the hands of Amuro Ray, the son of a weapons designer, he becomes the pilot of the machine during the Earth Federation's war against the Principality of Zeon.
What better way to start the PG series of models than with the original Gundam design? Recreate the beginning of an era with this kit; the RX-78 comes to life in amazing detail, from the inner frame to the armor and decals. Celebrate where it all began with this great-looking kit!
