those model kits r usually Bandai's Macross Frontier kits, got a few old series assembly kits which r usually abt rm100-200

but most macross collectors buy d ready made Yamato series which cost a bomb 

model kit tak syok... time consume .. more fragile .. lots of part swappings ..

a) just snap fit .. if you have the tools and skills, can airbrush to make it look better
b) if you mean by HG, MG, PG grading.. no, there isnt any .. but for frontier series, they have from basic jet model, then the parts model kit, and with armor model kit ..
c) depends .. the high end macross; like vf-25 armored messiah model kit can be as low rm260 to rm300++

the model kits quite hassle since there are lots of small parts ... and transforming them is a pain too... you have to do lots of part swapping .. with kibbles ... it's a messy job ...

yeah... macross model kit especially the frontier series contains alot of parts... big to small ...and the assembling can bit abit frustrating at some point where you need like 1 person to hold the part while you adjusting it to fit it in ...

macpla can easily pwn gunpla in MG/HG and probably RG, more like PG grade for normal macpla

good luck bro doing the model kit
