[southpawdragon]

I've never built a Gundam model, and I'm already liking this.

I have two G's (RX78, and ZZ Gundam) that I bought from RJ members,
each model kit was already built, painted, and their decals applied.
They were old used kits that have yellowed, so I will soon take
them apart for cleaning and I can practice by rebuilding them
so I'll have my chops ready for this 3.0 kit someday.

This 3.0 kit is Off The Hook! I love the two-tone white feature,
as it would help achieve an almost "anime" cell-shade texture
if you know how to cell-shade these kits.
The new articulation looks promising.

Thanks for the heads-up.

I would recommend to you the 1/144 scale RG RX-78-2. Much more friendly to the wallet at around $25-$30 in most places. The MG version 3 is pretty much an upscale versions with some additional features. Only thing about the RG is that it is small, kinda like the size of the SRC Mazinger. But it also have all the details of the version 3 with all the different tones of the white, red and even the blue.

Is this ver 3.0 compatible with
1/100 MG G-Fighter released back in 2009 ?

I recently got this model kit and building it. This kit come with mp1 hand, when i bend one of the finger a section come off and when i try put it back the holder is very lose and i can't seem to put that finger back bwcause it keep falling off. Looks like i need a hand replacement. Anyone know if this mp1 hands sold saparately?

Try eBay. There are some seller that can reproduce parts. I remember seeing that they also sell reproduce the hands you are looking for. The first time I encounter these MP1 hands is on the new MG Nu Gundam

This listing is for the Sinanju but it has the same hands.
