HG: Gundam Base Limited - RX-78 Gundam (21st Century Real Type Ver.)

In the early 1980s, during the Gunpla boom , many modelers let their imaginations run wild and wondered, "What if Mobile Suits were real?"

When the movie trilogy was released, Okawara-sensei 's illustrations of MS featured military-inspired coloring and markings. Many modelers adopted this approach to give their Gunpla a more realistic look, a method that has become a staple finishing touch.

Subsequently, the 1/100 Real Type MS series was released, and the theme of realism continues to be explored by enthusiasts in various approaches to this day.

This model was designed to capture that realistic atmosphere sought at the time:

The hues of the main colours have been darkened to better reflect the spirit of the times.

The iconic markings have been recreated as Water Decals, inspired by popular designs at the time.

For those nostalgic for a certain generation, adding a touch of silver in the "hagechoro" style could further reinforce this feeling of returning to one's roots.
