Gundam model Grading system HG/MG etc

Here I will explain the differences between the grades and most of the terminology that are on the kits. I won't be going into short lived series such as the no grades or entry grade.

SD (Super Deformed)
Background - Super Deformed Gundams are mini sized with disproportionately large heads and small bodies, or also known as "chibi". These are usually quite cheap compared to their normal sized counterparts and are easier to construct and takes less time. They have gained popularity enough to have their own series with Super Deformed Gundams such as Superior Defender Gundam Force or the Sangokuden Brave Battle Warriors featuring SD Gundams clad with armor.

Pros - Cheap, cute, easy to build/finish

Cons - Requires lots of stickers or painting to look good. Usually a lot of gaps/seam lines.

High Grade 
1/144
