This might be a stupid question- but I'm not into them. What's the difference between real grade, and master grade?

ChuckDeeI was just going to say that the only difference is Master Grade is 1/100 scale and Real Grade is 1/144 and that they're equivalent in terms of detail and complexity, but then I looked it up...
"The RG line combines the best aspects of the other three Gunpla lines: The small size and affordable prices of the High Grade, the advanced inner frame technology of the Master Grade and the massive part count of the Perfect Grade."

ChuckDeeOh i own both so I can tell you, The RG line is not only smaller but its inner frame comes semi-pre assembled on its own runner, its reallly cool, its movable and everything with really high detial, more than could be expected fo the avreage modeler and it even can move while in the runner, i have no idea how they do it. Dont think this means its just snap on armor, its still a gunpla build through and through. It even comes with little 1/144 figures of the pilots to paint, NOW THAT IS A CHALLENGE im diiieing to get to! Im saving the pilot painting for last!

jxliuThanks for the explanation. I've been wanting to try building some of these. Local Japanese grocer stocks them, and I've been thinking about getting one or two of the small sets ~$35-50. They have a few masters a $120, but... yea need to know what I'm doing first I think. :)
