After months sitting in the backlog, I finally built the HG RX-78-2 Gundam (Revive).
Why this kit
It’s the original Gundam and a great test bed for basic panel-lining and detail painting techniques.
Process
- Separating and cleaning the runners
- Dry-fitting to check joints
- Panel lining with a grey marker
- Detail painting (yellow/red) with a brush
Verdict
Recommended as a first kit for anyone getting into the hobby without spending too much.
