Introducing the 1/144 HGUC RX-78 GP02A Gundam GP02

The Bandai 5055719 - 1/144 HGUC RX-78 GP02A Gundam GP02 recreates the iconic mobile suit from Gundam 0083 with compact High Grade engineering. It is designed to deliver solid detail and flexible posing without excessive complexity.

Visual Design and Range of Motion

The model renders signature elements such as the bulky shield and armoured leg units. Its articulation supports both static displays and action-oriented stances, with joints engineered for reliable hold.

Recommended Build Process and Tools

This kit is best suited to intermediate builders. Essential supplies include nippers, a sharp modelling blade, sanding files, and tweezers for clean assembly and decal placement.

Finishing Techniques and Decal Tips

After cutting parts free, smooth seams and use panel lining to make details stand out. The kit comes with stickers, but collectors often swap to waterslide decals for higher fidelity before sealing with a clear topcoat.
