Bandai 5057597 - SD EX-STANDARD RX-78-2 Entry Level SD Gundam Kit  [B-5057597]

Quick Guide to the SD EX-STANDARD RX-78-2

The SD Gundam EX-STANDARD 001 RX-78-2 presents a condensed, characterful version of the Mobile Suit that remains faithful to the original silhouette. Produced by Bandai, the kit is aimed at builders seeking an approachable project with neat styling and display potential.

Design, Joints and Equipment

This SD variant features improved joint range compared with older SD releases, allowing for livelier displays. The kit comes with the classic beam rifle and shield so you can recreate familiar poses without extra purchases.

How Hard Is It to Build and What to Use

Assembly is kept intentionally simple so newcomers can finish the kit without specialised tools. Recommended basics include side cutters, a hobby knife for trimming, and tweezers for small parts and decals.

Finishing Steps and Touch Up Hints

Light sanding of runner marks will improve fit before any painting. Panel lining is effective at bringing out sculpted detail, while decals add character. A flat clear coat helps remove plastic sheen and protects any paintwork.

With its low barrier to entry and credible articulation, the SD Gundam EX-STANDARD RX-78-2 is a handy kit for a quick build that still looks great on display.
