Tested on RG RX-78-2 and it works great :)

Think it is a re release, and it's sure a good deal. Kit and starter box as a bundle. The starter box is solid, very solid. 


The kit also comes with a philip screw driver.
Engine seems not made by Hudy in house, and OEM in Japan, it is a small and compact 08 engine, and beautifully machined, fitted with standard 1/10 or 1/8 glow plug, paired with a nice metal pipe.

RG RX-78-2 #9

 Installed painted armor onto the skeleton frame. Enjoying the process but also I found a few issues :

1. I broke the "bone" of the left lower leg in very beginning of the build process. I have fixed it with cooper wire and instant glue, however, it seems that some position is off to the original and hence there is a gap on the lower left leg armor. 

2. Some of the advanced joints are not in good shape and easy to get loose now, hence some of the "linkage movement" are not functional now. 

3. Armor parts are small and thin, have to be extremely careful when installing the armor. I have accidentally broke the left upper leg part during fitting and installation. Luckily, won't be noticed easily. 

Lesson learnt for handling RG, and the outcome is still beautiful.
