Real Grade (RG)

Real Grade (RG) kits deliver the perfect blend of Master Grade-style detail with the compact size of 1/144 scale. Introduced in 2010, RG models are designed for builders who want premium detail, advanced engineering, and realistic color separation in a smaller, display-friendly form.

RG kits typically feature inner frames, intricate part separation, and high articulation. They require more precision than HG kits but reward builders with a highly detailed, dynamic, and “realistic” finished model—true to the grade’s name.

Key Features of Real Grade Kits

• Scale: 1/144

• Difficulty: Intermediate to advanced

• Build Time: Moderate to long (3–6+ hours depending on kit complexity)

• Articulation: Exceptional poseability thanks to advanced inner frames

• Detail Level: Very high—multiple colors, layered armor, realistic proportions

• Price Range: Mid-range, generally higher than HG but lower than MG

• Engineering: Fine parts, decals, and multi-color runners for precision builds

Ideal For

• Builders ready for a challenge beyond HG

• Fans who want MG-style detail without the larger size
