Description
The Bandai HGUC #20 1/144 RGM-79 GM is a snap-fit plastic model kit based on the Earth Federation's first mass-produced mobile suit from the original Mobile Suit Gundam anime series. This classic HGUC release features color-molded parts with foil stickers for detail, making it a quick and straightforward build. Recommended for beginner to intermediate builders, the GM's simple construction makes it an accessible entry point into the hobby. Originally released in April 2001, the RGM-79 GM was designed using combat data from the RX-78-2 Gundam and became the backbone of the Federation's mobile suit forces during the One Year War.
