$20.99

The High Grade RX-178 Gundam Mk-II revived the original 2002 release of this fan-favorite mobile suit. With this version, Bandai has brought an old-school model kit up to modern standards. Serious fans of the Gundam Mk-II should know that this design has had a standout model kit made in every other Grade offered by Bandai (RG, MGPG). This version of the RX-178 Gundam Mk-II is molded in the AEUG color scheme, giving it the traditional Tricolor Gundam look!

With this version, you will find the RX-178 Gundam Mk-II includes:

  • The Vulcan Pod System
  • Beam Rifle
  • Hyper Bazooka
  • Beam Sabers x 2
  • Shield


Articulation
 –

The RX-178 Gundam Mk-II Revive revamps the original design, giving it a much sleeker appearance than its predecessor. Updates to the joint segments allow for more fluid motions and better posing. This little guy can really strike a pose! This AEUG variant is identical to the HGUC #194 RX-178 Gundam Mk-II Titans, so expect the same excellent build for both kits.

Weapons and Other Notable Attributes 

The RX-178 Gundam Mk-II Titans get a stellar redesign to the classic Gundam Loadout. Both The Beam Rifle and Bazooka have the option to be stored on the waist armor. There is Beam Saber storage on the backpack as well. The Bazooka will require some painting to make a fully color-accurate version, but will still look great in the original gray color. This kit also includes the same Vulcan Pod System used by the RMS-154 Barzam.

This kit includes:

10 Runners total (A1, A2, B1, B2, C, D1, D2, E, SB13, PC002)

Tips and Tricks –

By implementing the technique of Top Coating, you can do a great deal to help preserve the longevity of your models. This process will protect the original plastic of your model kit and prepare it for any additional modeling techniques to follow.

You can drastically improve your results by making the details pop on the HGUC #193 RX-178 Gundam Mk-II (A.E.U.G.) with Panel Lining. The simplest solution for this is Gundam Markers or Tamiya Panel Line Fluid. If you’re up to a challenge making panel wash is always a great option too! It is always recommended to Topcoat with clear gloss beforehand, as some of the products commonly used for Panel Lining will degrade the untreated plastics over time.

Another way to keep adding detail is by applying Stickers/Marking DecalsTop Coating before the application will help decals stick to the surface much better. Using Top Coat after application will help hide the seams on traditional sticker decals as well as waterslides. This additional step will also keep them from peeling over time. Using Decals is a great way to add an even greater level of detail to your scale models.
