The RX-78-2 [DB] Development Bed Type was a testbed Gundam unit stationed at the Anaheim Electronics Moon Base Mk-VI on behalf of the Earth Federation during the early days of the One Year War. Originally used to test the Lunar Titanium upgrades that would be passed on to Amuro Ray towards the end of the war, the RX-78-2 [DB] would see combat deployment on Earth after a failed test flight ended in reentry. EFSF Personnel transport driver James Turner would happen upon the downed suit, and moved by Bright Noa's efforts to shelter war orphans aboard the White Base, would go on to pilot the RX-78-2 [DB] as a means of protecting the children of the Mojave Desert from the occupying forces of Zeon. --- Standing 18 cm tall, this 1/100 scale Master Grade RX-78-2 3.0 is made of PS, PE and ABS plastics. Prepared, sanded, painted, and assembled over hundreds of hours, this model kit features a fully custom paint scheme inspired by the colors of the desert bus logo and website. Additionally, custom decals have been applied to make this model kit truly one-of a-kind.
