This was RG kit #5 and while it’s the least gimmicky out of the ones I’ve built, it’s probably the most solid RG I’ve done so far. There’s something about that classic tanky-brick design that has aged remarkably well, and the fact that the PG, MG and RG all have the same proportions are just a testament to this timeless design.
