RX-78-2 Gundam Ver 2.0
Also from Gunpla Secret Factory and Pam’s Homepage via Gundam King Gunota. but figured it needed a separate post. the upcoming RX-78 Gundam Ver. 2.0. Am not liking the shoulders and lack of panel lines, however I guess it’s supposed to look as close to the anime version as possible.
Edit: image of internal frame via Ngee Khiong who is eagerly collecting Shizouka info as well. ^^

Could the reason why the shoulder is made so small be that this 78 2.0 has to be adapted to the G-Armor??

Alan, don’t think there’s a release date yet, regarding the transparent one, that might be a custom made one, just for the hobby show. ^^;

hi Marvin, I think I will get more then one ^^, I’m crazy for RX78-2 hohohohoho, do you do painting your model?
May 23rd, 2008 at 2:09 pm
I think the Bandai usually will release some transparent set as special version after the original version after a year
May 23rd, 2008 at 4:57 pm
yes I do. I use to use an airbrush, but nowadays I use can spray paint to save a bit of time. ^^
about the transparent set, they might, but I’m willing to bet it’ll be available in Japan only. same thing happened with the exia a while back. ^^

icic, is can spray more costly then usinf airbrush? mind share which brand of can spray shd I use as a start?

I use Tamiya modeling paint. If you’re planning to build a number of kits in the future, using an airbrush is actually cheaper in the long run. only problem is I sometimes find myself with a deficit of time to clean up after working on a kit, so I ended up using spray cans. however airbrushes do give you more control over painting kits thus the finish would turn out nicer.
