Looking for a standout 3D printable mech with legendary status? The RX-78-2 Gundam brings the Universal Century’s iconic hero to your BattleTech table. This multipart, FDM-ready model is crafted for ease of printing and detailed display, perfect for fans who want to blend Gundam nostalgia with BattleTech passion.

This mech changed the course of the One Year War and now can change your gaming sessions too! Align pegs and clear assembly instructions help you build your mech without frustration. A sturdy, detailed display base is included to show off your mechanical masterpiece.

Assembly & Print Notes:

1. Begin by gluing the bent leg piece securely to the waist.
2. Attach the straight leg to the opposite side of the waist, ensuring proper alignment via the built-in pegs. Some trimming of pegs may be required depending on your printer tolerances.
3. Connect the torso section to the assembled waist and legs, carefully ensuring a flush fit.
4. Attach the outstretched arm (the one with the beam saber) to the corresponding shoulder joint on the torso.
5. Connect the no-hand arm to the other shoulder.
6. Mount the beam saber hand onto the outstretched arm for an iconic pose.
7. Finally, fix the assembled Gundam to the included display base to keep it stable during display or gaming.
   Glue is recommended at all joints for durability, especially during gameplay. The base helps keep the model upright and adds a professional touch.

Perfect for tabletop gamers and 3D printing hobbyists who love classic mechs.
