JWM should be the pro on this subject.
If it is like my RX-91 The toy would be about 9" tall.

Hiya, Mastergrades can be quite complex and also fun to build. They are moulded with most colours accurate to the model..so minimal painting is neccessary. But painting and detailing will bring the most out of the model. Perfectgrades are well...perfect I guess. Personally I have never owned a Perfect Grade Model as they just cost too much) www.Gundamshop.com has good reviews and info on most Bandai Gundam models. go there and check them out. You can also buy from them. And theres always eBay..sometimes you may be lucky to find them at a bargain price. I have bought 3 MG models for around $15 - 19 dollars.. Hope this helps! |

A Master Grade model will be about 8" in height and will have well over a hundred pieces in the kit. They do not require either paint or glue. If you've never built a Gundam model I'd suggest starting with a high grade kit just so you'll be familiar with the procedure. When you first take it out of the box it will seem quite intimidating, but once you start on the assembly you will realize the sheer genius of Bandai's tech writers. Even if you don't read Japanese you will find the instructions clear, and easy to follow. Check out episode two of " Doesn't Play Well With Others" The large RX78, ZakuII, Wing Zero, and Zeta Gundams are all Perfect Grade kits. The Dom is the HY2M Glorious Grade (review in the Articles section and also at Collection DX.). The smaller Gundam holding EVA's power line ("Hey, what's this hose for?" ) is the Master Grade Full Armor ZZ Gundam. Every once in a while I make a plug for the Perfect Grade Experience (just revived the thread). I can't recommend it highly enough!!!
