This time I will do a little review about my newest Gundam model. The name is Gundam RX78-2 Ver. One Year War (Master Grade). This kit costs 385.000 IDR. I think it's not very expensive for a master grade kit. Unfortunately, it is a bit difficult to find this model now. From an online hobby shop (ww.hlj.com), we can see that this product has been discontinued, means that the manufacturer has stopped producing it.
The colours are basic Gundam colours: white, red, blue, and yellow. Just as expected from a master grade kit, the articulations are perfect. The elbow is double-jointed so its hand can reach the shoulder. The arms can rotate 360 degrees. Wrist can bend 90 degrees. The fingers' articulation is similar to the older master grade kits. Thumb and pointing finger can move independently, while the other three fingers connected together. Ventilations on chest can be opened and closed, as well as the cockpit hatch. The skirts, front, side, and back move independently. The most amazing articulation is the legs'. It can bend so far to the back, making the model capable of doing crouching pose.
The accesories consist of a shield, a beam rifle, a bazooka, two beam sabers, and Gundam hammer (shaped like a morning star). Each of accesories is well-detailed, especially the shield.
Along with the kit, stickers and dry decals are included. They can be used to enhance the model's detail. Compared to other RX78-2 model kits, Ver. O.Y.W. has more panel lines.
The only weakness this model kit has is not having the core fighter (a small fighter which is the main part of the Gundam's cockpit).
In summary, Gundam RX78-2 Ver. O.Y.W. is a master grade kit which is worth to be bought. The detail and articulations are perfect. In addition, its accesories are complete. Unless you don't like panel lines, this one must be considered to be added to your Gundam collection.
You can see the completed model in dalong.net.
