When it may not be suitable

This kit may not be ideal for those seeking a highly realistic or large-scale representation of the RX-78-2, as the Super Deformed style intentionally exaggerates proportions. It is also not recommended for very young children without adult supervision due to small parts that require careful handling during assembly.
