Introduction to Bandai 5065300 MG 1/100 FA-78-2 Heavy Gundam

The Bandai 5065300 - MG 1/100 FA-78-2 Heavy Gundam is a Master Grade kit built for hobbyists who take pride in precision assembly. The Heavy Gundam adapts the RX-78-2 platform with beefed up armor and extra weapons, offering a distinct look within the Universal Century lineup.

Movement Range and Assembly Fit

Articulation is a core strength of this kit, with joints designed to maintain strong poses. Thoughtful part engineering gives natural color breaks and reduces the need for paint in certain areas. Many components snap together cleanly, helping builders avoid excessive gap filling.

Recommended Equipment and Skill Notes

Planned as a moderate MG project, you will want side cutters, a fine hobby knife, sanding tools and tweezers. A pin vise can be helpful for customizing or adding weight to limb assemblies if you plan more advanced mods.

Detailing, Decals and Protective Coats

Panel lining and decals make a noticeable difference to the kit's presence. Use gentle sanding on connection points, apply decals carefully, and finish with a clear coat to protect paint and decals while unifying the surface sheen.

The MG 1/100 FA-78-2 Heavy Gundam is a satisfying MG for modellers who want a robust, poseable kit that showcases careful finishing work.
