This is my blog, let Gunpla be immortalized here! (Pt.2)

Hello again, readers. Once again, I will show you the different intricacies of Gundam Model kits. This time, we will embark on the journey to the higher-end kit grades.



First, we have the Real Grades. These 1/144 kits are advertised to carry the detail of 1/100 Master Grades in the compact presence of regular palm-sized High Grades. The box art of these are very stylish, and carry a presence of style including their black under-boxes.

The engineering of these kits are higher than a regular High Grade, and they specialize in pose-ability. The parts are much more smaller and resemble the surface detail of a Master Grade, and they even include inner frames that come in large parts on a specially molded runner. One of the best qualities of all of the Real Grades is that the cost is comparable to a High Grade.

The last main Grade available is the PG, or Perfect Grade. From the name, you can make the correct assumption that these kits are cream-of-the-crop top-of-the-line Gunpla. They introduce a gigantic 1/60th scale, so they take up a lot of space and use it well. Details are numerous and immersive, and the inner frame is very stable as well as articulated.

The boxes these kits come in are large, almost the size of a heavy suitcase. The number of pieces are more vastly numerous than any other kit grade.

The engineering and building of Gunpla is only the beginning in terms of Gunpla in general. There are many smaller grades which I didn't include and wanted to mention, such as 1/100 REborn, SDs, SDEX, and Mega Size.

I will see you guys later. The next post will be about the methods of painting your gunpla.
