HG RX-178 Gundam Mk-II (A.E.U.G.)

INTRODUCTION

Gundam Mk2, it is either the Titans’ blue or the AEUG white! I can’t choose. I went for the white first because I was on offer online.

I don’t think there is a difference but may have different marking decals.

I have shared the instruction manual for those for are interested. I am not claiming to be an expert builder but I do like customising and air-brushing my kits. If you do like to see more of my projects and support the blog, please hit the ‘Like’ button below.

WHAT I THINK

This kit is well made. I like the shape of the design, the parts and colour separation. Joint movement is almost non-restricted.

When I am putting this together, I kept thinking to myself as the engineer that improved on the original RX-78.

There is nothing bad I can say about this kit. To me this is benchmark that all other HG kits outside of IBO will need to be graded against.

I am planning to get another Mk2 kit and together with the powered backpack from Builder Divers I can create a custom version of the Super Mk2 Gundam.

I don’t think there is a difference between the Titan’s and AEUG kit, the runners are just moulded in the respective colours. This don’t bothers me as I am always painting my kits.

  • Although you can’t really see it, the Mk2 is slightly taller than the original Rx-78

WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS KIT

Yes, I would actually recommend getting 2 different versions of this mobile suit.

I enjoyed putting this together. The joints are updated with double elbow joints, good knee bend etc. You can be creative in your pose.

I had mine on a walking pose, just like a walk in the park!
