Zmey Smirnoff Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 What are the scales of Gundam kits? And approx. How large (in inches) a gundam figure comes out in each scale. Hope this makes sense. TIA Z.S. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Damian Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 What are the scales of Gundam kits? And approx. How large (in inches) a gundam figure comes out in each scale.Hope this makes sense. TIA Z.S. Well the main scales (Bandai produced kits) are: 1/60, 1/100 and 1/144 and the size of the kit depends on the size of the Mecha in the show I hope that helps a little!

RotorheadTX Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) Zmey, The breakdown is something like this: FG (First Grade) and HG (High Grade) are 1/144th scale, and the models come out about 6 inches tall for an 'average' mecha like Gundam, Zaku, Gouf, etc. These kits have good articulation, but aren't highly detailed. :P MG (Master Grade) are 1/100th scale, come out about 9 inches tall, have improved articulation, and lots of detailing. These make the best quality models for the prices, in my opinion. PG (Perfect Grade) are 1/60th scale, stand over a foot tall, and have TONS of detail. The PG kits often include parts to make interior skeletons, armatures, etc. but they also cost alot more for that reason. Hope this helps!

Ken Lim Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 A little addendum to that- The current crop of Gundam Seed in 1/144 are probably intended for a much younger audience. They are pre-coloured and well detailed but have much less articulation- to the extent that arms and legs are single non moving constructs. And cheap. There are/were also odd scale kits of the older Gundam series. I've got a 1/220 scale Marasai. And you get tiny 1/550 Gundam 'figures' to give scale to starship sized 'mobile armours' like the Nieu Ziel and Val-Walo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
