Detailed Look at Bandai 5065300 MG 1/100 FA-78-2 Heavy Gundam

The Bandai 5065300 - MG 1/100 FA-78-2 Heavy Gundam is a Master Grade release intended for modellers who appreciate detailed assembly and accurate styling. This Heavy Gundam takes the RX-78-2 concept and adds reinforced armor and extra hardware, giving it a distinctive presence within the Universal Century timeline.

Stability and Part Layout

Stability is a highlight, with well thought out joints that retain pose integrity. The kit uses effective part separation to create clear color areas, so the finished model looks cohesive even before painting. Overall fitment is precise and helps keep seam work to a minimum.

Build Advice and Essential Tools

Consider this a moderate challenge for MG builders; recommended tools include quality side cutters, a sharp hobby knife and a selection of sanding abrasives. Fine tweezers and precision files aid in neat assembly of small components.

Finishing Workflow and Preservation

Panel lining and careful decal placement will bring out the kit's detail. Light sanding of problematic joins, followed by primer and a protective topcoat, will produce a resilient finish and enhance the model's display quality.
