Damn, i delayed this post again. Its was supposed to be here by the end of December but it ended up being upload now, mid of January. The pre-build was completed few weeks ago and it already under painting process now. Too bad that this project was held during the hand over for my previous job and i'm in another job which is in another field now. Two days off on weekend, i can spend one day for gunpla and post it on the coming weekend (Great).
So, FA-78-3 (instead of RX-78) Full Armor Gundam 7th, i don't know why it goes by number 7th but i guess this should be the 7th variation from RX-78. If i'm not wrong, it was from one of the Gundam game series and its not from any gundam anime series. As read from our best friend or you can called it as "gundam wiki" a.k.a MAHQ, this thing really come from many version or generation. The origin was from RX-78 till it develop to FA-78-1 to 2 to 3. And the best part of it was this 3rd generation can be said the combination of the FA-78-1 or 2 with using the NT-1 as the platform. This kit was actually re-design from the Mr. Katoki and the original of this FA-78-3 was carrying a lot more weapon than this. There is another heavy armor of this FA-78-3 which something look like Gundam Double X with its add-on flight "jet". From what i read, this should be the strongest RX/FA-78 series as the with more weapon and additional armors while maintaining its agility. If this come in MG version, which using the original design concept of this MS, it really can store a lot of weapon as MAHQ stated on its design concept. What a small kit with a lot of story.
Let check out the box and the runners.
