    I would like to share with a guys my experience building the remake of the classic 1/60 RX 78 kit from the 80s. Painted metallic red and gold to follow my Zeon only collection. Don’t be fooled by its simplicity and bulkiness, this kit is a heck of a challenge when it comes to the paint job coming from its primitiveness in way too simple design with unreachable gaps, parts scratching with each other, irreversible build, and having to apply glue everywhere along the way considering the paint job is required to be done before the construction, causing the cement and super glue applied to damage my paintjob. The end results turned out good considering I almost scrap the project at one point, yet it gave me such invaluable experience unavailable elsewhere.
    • Man that’s oldschool! I can only imagine the troubles you had because of the quality of kits back them. When you compare that RX-78 to today’s 3.0, Gunpla have really come a long way. Nice job!

    • now that’s something you just don’t see every day! i think your kit may be older than i am, and it looks way better, too! i’m glad you were able to persevere through the build and share such an awesome example of classic gunpla with us. you have my gratitude, sir!
