The Mk. II is my favorite MS! Well, one of them. I built the RG version, but it was a bit too fiddly for my taste. I have the MG version on my shelf!

I have almost completed RG RX-78-2 (just decals) and I have Crossbone and MK-II Titans on the backlog.

The final builds are almost always very fiddly, mostly due to an insane overdesign of pieces separation to raise the count. I usually glue the smaller, not moving part to increase the stability of the builds.

At the moment I'm not liking RGs very much: lots of details but too small for customizations. Some of the new HGs and RE/100 are more stable and less a pain to build & paint, with not so much detail compromises (and waterslides can always be bought separately, I'm not very keen about too much busy models).

I'm planning to get a V2.0 MK-II Master Grade, every feedback I get about it is surprisingly good. I'm excited about the internal mechanical details and the backpack: there's a complete engine inside! Probably it will be an open build.
