Since its first release, the Entry Grade RX-93 ν Gundam has become a fan favorite — both for newcomers and veteran Gunpla builders. With multiple versions available today, many are curious: What exactly are the differences between them?

In this article, I compare the three most popular variations:

• The Gundam Base Limited ν Gundam (Painting Model)
