Really any RG is a good one to start with except the Zeta as it’s a bit fragile.
The build on RGs are very enjoyable but can be a bit fiddly due to the small parts.
Painting a RG would be a bit more difficult than a MG if you plan to keep the multi coloured armour, as you’d probably have to paint each individual part before putting them together.
It is definitely doable but will be a bit more time consuming than painting most MG.

Well, the problem i find in the rg is the size, it is complex, in some even more than a few mg´s, the problem is that the pieces re to small and makes them a pain to build them, incredible looks and articulation, and yes they can be painted, also some parts re always falling off, they re not sturdy as a simple hg for example, dont get me wrong, they re amazing looking kits, maybe for start you should try with a more simple rg, like the zaku ll or the Rx-78-2, aile strike, or freedom maybe.

If you want to get into RG go for the MK II..its a good RG..I already have 8 RG and only build 5 of them. RG is a great transition when you tired of doing MG’s. The detail is great and easy to assemble. But be cautious of the tyny parts because they easily lost and be gentle when assembling or u might break something.

Agreed with what the others said. MkII is fantastic and you can’t really go wrong. In some ways RGs are more “challenging” than MGs as the parts are smaller, especially if you plan to paint it. Give it a try.

The RG line is excellent. I think you’d enjoy almost any of the kits, but my favourites so far have been Justice, Freedom, Strike & Strike Freedom. They’re all nicely detailed and articulated, and indeed complex enough to keep you interested. The armour comes in many sections and usually with good colour differentiation to add real nice detail to the kit.

Yes, they’re very paintable! See here: http://www.graemenattress.com/wp/tag/rg/ for my painted builds. I did start with the earlier ones painting mostly on the runner, which actually works surprisingly well, but the later ones do it properly taking each piece off and doing them individually.

If you’re going to paint them, the Gentei are maybe superfluous, but I’d recommend the extra bonus kits for Destiny and Strike Freedom as the wings really set the kits off nicely.

As with any kit you want to get, I always recommend you get a kit you like. I know you wanted the trans am Exia and if you cannot get your hands on it you can always make your own. As for how good the RG line is? Its fantastic, the line really is “excitement embodied” if you think it was going to skimp on complexity these small kits have quite the number of parts for a kit their size they’re not hard but they’re fun to build if you have built a few of kits before. a good portion of the RG’s are actually better then the MG counterparts boasting more detail and poseability. Definitly worth the price.
