Bandai Gundam Model Kit - MG RX-78-2 Gundam Ver.3.0

Personal Notes (from Ah Chong)

Ver.3.0 feels very deliberate. It’s not trying to be flashy — it’s trying to be correct.

This is a kit where the engineering really shows once you start moving the armor and understanding how everything is linked together. If you like studying how a Gundam is “built,” rather than just posing it, this MG is still a very interesting experience.
