Wow, what a throwback this kit is! I love the 0083 series too, got the MG version of this guy and the GP-02A back in the 90's to re-create scenes from the show coz I loved the mecha designs! Shame about the white beam saber on this kit, haha! Still a nice condensed version of the MS, not bad for a 20 year old kit!
Weird that Bandai only made an RG for RX-78GP01 Gundam "Zephyranthes" and RX-78GP01-Fb Gundam "Zephyranthes" Full Burnern. Given Bandai's tendency, I would expect them to make an RG for RX-78GP02A Gundam "Physalis" and also RX-78GP03S Gundam "Dendrobium Stamen", and re-release the HG RX-78GP03 Gundam "Dendrobium" in new 'Real Color Version' like how they re-released the HG GNR-001E GN Arms Type-E as a 'Real Color Version' that is intended to be used with the RG. The MG versions also are long overdue for an upgrade I think. For fans of this series, I think the RG release of RX-78GP01 Gundam "Zephyranthes" and RX-78GP01-Fb Gundam "Zephyranthes" Full Burnern is the current best way to go considering that the HGs are roughly 20 years old. I guess the HGs are also due for a 'Revive' release too. If you're new to GunPla, I honestly wouldn't suggest older kits. I mean for one, they don't have the part separation nor gimmicks that newer kits have. They also tend to use more stickers, and some MGs use screws. Things like that could be a major turn off for newcomers and could push them away from the hobby. Luckily, every now and then, Bandai releases an updated version of existing kits across all grades & series, and the older kits (15+ years) are typically found in (of course) the older series. Kits released for the newer series are in line with modern GunPla kits so they tend to be good.
Nice 👍 definitely a test bed for beginner modelers for seem line removal and painting. Old hguc kits are perfect for this. My fave beginner kits are the hguc starter sets... they have best value for beginners.
How to make your own Gundam: 1) Take a coloring book picture of RX 78-2 2) Draw some different things to it. 3) Color it in some cool color like black or blue 4) Smash your fist on the keyboard to get a name, for example fdshg 5) Profit!
The two gunpla channels I follow suddenly throw up GP01 videos at nearly the same time? Coincidence? Or a highly-choreographed hidden message to the viewer from industry insiders to prepare my wallet and sharpen my tools because the long-secret development of a wearable fully functioning 1/24 GP01 exoskeleton, complete with core fighter capabilities, is about to be announced? The latter. Definitely the latter.

More videos on older kits that still hold up today, please.
The hguc hazel custom is one such kit imo.
It's time for a Revive, Bandai.

Enjoyed your vids, keep em coming~
WE NEED A HGUC REVIVE
As Evan says, I would use this to work on painting and modifications. The RG is the best in this scale.
How to make your own Gundam:
1) Take a coloring book picture of RX 78-2
2) Draw some different things to it.
3) Color it in some cool color like black or blue
4) Smash your fist on the keyboard to get a name, for example fdshg
5) Profit!
It looks good for it's age but it's wierd that bandai didn't include stickers for the cameras
Ah a old HGUC kit
Will this pass as an antique ?
pls do review of hguc pysalis
it had a core fighter?
good, less stickers
I have it as RG kit and I love it except the core fighter :-D its falling appart
Actually they not bad, just need little customizing and paint.
the thrusters in its chest (quadro nips) makes it looks like a lego
talk about oldie
