This kit is the Gundam Base limited MG RX-78-3 Gundam G-3 Ver.3.0. It's based on the standard release MG Gundam ver. 3.0with the molded colors swapped out for G3's gray color scheme. There's no new molding — it's a straightforward color variant, and only the seals have been updated to the G3 version.

True to the intricate design of the Ver.3.0, the outer armor is made up of several different shades of gray. It gives the suit a slightly sharper look compared to other colorways. The straight build looks great as a result, and it actually feels more crisp and edgy than the original colors. That said, the somewhat fiddly parts fit and joint strength are still the same as before, so keep in mind that it's a bit less stable than the Ver.2.0.

It's pretty much the color variant you'd expect, but the molded colors came out really nicely. If you're into that distinctive G3 color scheme, I think it's definitely worth building. :-)
