Master Grade Gundam (MG Gundam)

Master Grade (MG) is Bandai's 1/100 scale advanced Gunpla line, launched in July 1995. At 1/100, MG kits are larger than the 1/144 High Grade and Real Grade lines, and Bandai updates popular mobile suits with new versions (Ver. 2.0, Ver. 3.0, Ver.Ka) over time.

Above MG, Perfect Grade (PG) is 1/60 scale. Our grade guide compares every grade side by side.

What scale are MG Gundam kits?

Master Grade kits are 1/100 scale. Bandai launched the line in 1995 as its 1/100 advanced Gunpla brand.

What is the difference between MG and HG?

Scale is the main difference: Master Grade kits are 1/100, High Grade kits are 1/144, so an MG kit of the same mobile suit is noticeably larger.

Do these kits need glue?

No. Bandai introduced its snap-fit method in 1987, so the parts go together without adhesive.

What tools do I need?

Bandai recommends a modeling nipper to trim each part from its runner. Entry Grade is the exception: its touch gates can be separated by hand.
