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. 3.0 with the molded color changed to G-3's gray color scheme. There's no new molding — it's a straightforward color variant, and only the seals have been updated to the G-3 version.

True to the intricate design of the Ver.3.0, the outer armor is made up of several different shades of gray, which gives the suit a sharper, crisper look compared to other colorways. The straight build looks great as a result, and it actually feels more vivid and edgy than the original colors. That said, the somewhat iffy parts fitment and joint strength are still there, and it's worth keeping in mind that it feels 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 unique G-3 color scheme, I think it's definitely worth building. :-)
