RX-78GP01Fb Gundam Full Vernian "Zephyranthes" is from the OVA series, Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. The RX-78GP01 was said to be designed to be operate both on earth and in space. After suffering heavy damage while en route to Von Braun, the Gundam was retooled into the RX-78GP01FB Gundam Full Vernian "Zephyranthes" at the Anaheim Electronics facility on the moon. The unit differs from regular unit in a couple of ways. First, it has a set of Universal Boost Pods mounted behind the shoulder for better maneuverability. Secondly, the FF-XII's wings were removed and replaced with additional fuel units.
I like GP01's box art a lot. I have no knowledge on GP01 but the box art catches my attention and i bought it. X D
HGUC: 1/144 kits based on models seen in Universal Century productions, the first of which were released in May 1999. The HGUC line represented the chance to release many upgraded designs for the first time in kit form with modern injection moulding technology. These are of good quality, and new designs plus model improvements continue to be introduced into this line even today. This grade is largely considered to be the rightful heir of the original HG line. Until now, all unit from the HGUC series are mobile suits before U.C.0093 and over 50% of the units are from the One Year War.
There's a total of 5 major runners, 3 mini ones. Unlike Gadessa which comes with a stand, GP01 actually has more, more parts than Gadessa. More parts and a lot a lot of parts to be painted as well.
HG kits comes with lesser parts than the MG kits and requires a lot of painting to do. Not necessary but it's a plus if done. Notice how different the chest piece(right pic) is from the manual? I'm not sure if it's the same for the MG kit for GP01, but i believe most kits, even MG kits' chest piece require custom painting. ><" Other than the sizes of it, i don't think there's any differences.
Like i mention above, require more painting. I believe a MG kit would come with a separate "V".

I'm not surprised to find foil stickers for the shield. MG kits would come in separate parts. X D
I've already spent 7 hours for GP01 and i've only completed both legs, both arms with shoulders and the upper part of the body. First, it has more, MORE parts than Gadessa. Secondly, there's a lot of inking and painting to do, more than compared to Gadessa.
Please be waited for GP01 Part 2.

wow! it looks great! just wanna know i have couple of gundam but not colored it at all. So i want to get a new gundam but want to start coloring with SD grade. can u advise me what to use n what to get?
For coloring, just get whichever color markers that you need.
You can always purchase your gundam then check the pieces with the building manual and see which parts and what colors you'll need. Then just buy those colors. You'll never know what parts you need to color, not until you 'study' the pieces. x D
