Fun fact: From its position and actual design concepts, the Turn A's cockpit is actually supposed to be the womb rather than the male genitals, especially considering the fact that the cockpit could be accessed from below. So the Turn A is, surprisingly enough, not the Turn X's brother, but the Turn X's sister.

[@jhaybz29]

An advice given to me by a local model kit group (from long ago) was to simply call it: Rough and Fine and identify it straight by the Grit as to avoid confusion and to help others as well. Say for example if someone ask you how you achieved this texture one should not reply "I used a fine grit sandpaper" on the comments but instead say something like "I used a 1500grit sandpaper". Here's another tip that might be useful to anyone: If the sandpaper you bought has a letter "P" in it to identify the grit it means that this sandpaper is a hardware graded one; This is much rougher than the ones with no P in it. 3M sandpapers usually are the ones that grade sandpapers with no P but they are by no means the best they are still used for hardware not hobby but this might help you identify if you want something with more finer finish but you don't have access to hobby grade sandpapers. But if it really needs to be identified as high or low, you can simply say High Grit for sandpapers 1000grit and up and Low Grit for 800grits and lower.

[@MasakiHana]

13:00 the secondary bend is for Turn A to pose as if it was going up, the Turn A has a different way to maneuver and that goes to the lifting itself up to the sky.

Turn A Gundam is really awesome ! I love how the animation quality is really great; there's little "re-used" battle animations. The characters are amazing, a lot of growth etc. Yea .. just finish watching the thing. Also this Gundam is the most powerful to have ever existed - you`ll know why when you get to the end :-)

[@jakubmikulastik1957]

Turn A is actually pretty nice show, but what I would love to see is RG of this kit (with tiny Loran and cow!).

[@Studio_OZKai]

I love the Turn-A design so much, especially after watching the series. Definitely a top design for me. Something that might help out for that head icon (or details like it) you can always pout a q-tip into some thinner and wipe off the excess that way so you don't have to worry about scuffing the plastic at all.

[@gigaslave]

The MG Turn A is a beauty, complete with the old-school articulated fingers and the POM chain for its hammer.

[@RedCometNurse]

People hate on the Turn A, but it is very unique and isn't just a retread of the F91 Gundam like practically every other Gundam. It also looks really good. I wouldn't mind a different head, but it still looks really cool.

[@turbostrike1632]

Turn A Gundam is my favorite Gundam series and I think it has some of the best designs for Mobile Suits and characters and has one of the best stories. So thank you for reviewing this kit.

2000grit sandpaper is High Grit. As opposed to, say 80grit, being Low Grit. Less grit = more abrasive. If there was a 1grit it would be a single rough rock glued to a paper lol

[@zakuukaz4322]

I love the aesthetic of the bladed leg back sections. Form follows function and turn A seems to follow that principle more so than perhaps any other MS. Syd mead being an industrial designer brought that practicality to the design.

[@elementxxrider]

High grit/Low grit: it refers to how thin the grains on a sanding paper are. The highest the number is, the amount of grains is, and the more grains there is on the same area of sanding paper, the smaller that are, and by consequence, the finer the sandpaper is. If you want to know how fine a sandpaper is without having the numbers, feel the sand paper. The softer it feels, the finer the grain is. The better grains I'd recommend is 3000.

[@TheCinemaphobic]

Turn A is a unique series. Ethereal. I really liked it.

Wow, you really messed up the articulation segment. The shoulder armor is meant to be able to rotate all around the shoulder joint, that's why the back part of it bends outwards a little so you have clearance.

[@Nin_the_Shinobi]

Quick question, why can't we get rubber type hands? Like thicker prolly caps just as an option.

The rubber hand sucks because you can't paint the rubber. The paint won't stick on.

I have the MG of this design. I picked it up because this is one of the most unique Gundam designs and I liked it a lot. Looks like the HG is pretty good too. Although, the MG's shoulder pads don't get blocked by the rear sections nearly as much so it can raise its arms forwards better. I should dig it out of storage and put it back on display...

[@uxas3674]

I think almost every grades of rx 78-2 are very good, well except for mg 3.0, which some people said that the waist is a little bit loose due to the core fighter (correct me if i am wrong). I own both mg 2.0 and mg rx-78-02 origin and both are fantastic kits. The hg version origin gundam also feels like a rg itself and both beyond global and G40 are awesome kits with very articulated frame, if I must say.
