Thinking about adding lights to your RG God Gundam? Here's what the KOSMOS LED kit includes, what it doesn't, and whether it's the right choice for your build.
Quick answer
The KOSMOS LED Upgrade for RG God Gundam adds RGB halo and palm lights to your kit, but it's a parts set — you supply the model and the electronics skill.
What the kit actually includes
The KOSMOS set provides LED parts for the halo sheet, a palm light, a special effect light, a power supply module, a remote control, a metal nameplate, and instructions. It does not include the RG God Gundam model kit itself, batteries, or any wiring beyond the pre-attached LED components. You will need to solder or connect wires to the module and plan where to hide the battery pack inside the kit.
Installation difficulty and time
This is not a snap-in upgrade. You will need to disassemble parts of the RG God Gundam, drill or widen holes for wires, and route cables cleanly through the arms and torso. Expect a few hours of careful work if you have basic soldering experience. If you are new to LED modding, plan for a longer session and have a helping hand or tutorial ready.
Decision rules for the KOSMOS LED Upgrade
- You want RGB lighting with remote control: The kit includes a remote to cycle through colors and effects on the halo and palm lights. If you want dynamic lighting without building a custom circuit, this is a convenient package.
- You are comfortable with basic wiring: The LEDs come pre-soldered to short wires, but you will need to connect them to the power module and hide the module inside the torso. If you have never soldered or routed wires in a Gunpla, practice on a cheaper kit first. Check online tutorials for RG God Gundam LED routing before you buy.
- You want a complete lighting solution out of the box: The set does not include batteries, a battery holder, or a switch. You will need to source a compatible power supply (typically 3V–5V) and decide whether to use a coin cell or a small USB power bank. Plan your power source before starting the build to avoid rework.
