This model was designed by Juancho Aran a long time ago, and It was not free back then. But then he decided to share his model freely because he didn't want people to trade it for other premium Papercrafts.
RX-78-2 is a very old Gundam, and you can find many free templates for it. But Juancho Aran's design takes this old-fashioned Gundam to the next level. Aran brings us a sexier RX-78-2 Gundam with smaller feet and a thinner body, making it more elegant-looking.
The Gundam is divided into 9 parts: Head, Body, Waist, Legs, Arms, Backpack, Shield, Rifle and Bazooka. The template will take 37 pages in total. One thing about the template is that Aran didn't mark the color of every page in his template. So you will have to look at the Color guide on the very first page to know what color you should print the page in (for example, pages 2-14 must be printed in White, 15-26 in Dark Gray,...).
If you have a headache finding colored paper to print, you should try the RX-78-2 Gundam papercraft version of J-cube that I shared. Or not
