The Bandai HGUC #210 1/144 RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Type is a High Grade Universal Century model kit based on the Earth Federation ground combat mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team. This 2018 revamp features completely redesigned exterior armor parts, faithfully recreating the Gundam Ground Type's iconic asymmetrical chest unit and rugged battlefield appearance. Recommended for beginner to intermediate builders, this snap-fit kit requires no glue or painting for a color-accurate build. Piloted by Shiro Amada, the RX-79[G] was one of the Federation's first limited-production mobile suits built for ground warfare using surplus RX-78 parts.
Key Features
Redesigned Exterior Armor: All-new armor parts with accurate asymmetrical chest detail and improved proportions over the original 2007 HGUC release.
Enhanced Articulation: Improved knee joints and pull-out shoulder gimmick allow the kit to kneel and hold weapons with both hands for dynamic firing poses.
180mm Cannon with Storage Gimmick: The 180mm cannon can be disassembled and stored inside the included weapon container rack, replicating the in-series storage system.
Extensive Weapon Loadout: Includes a beam rifle not found in the original HGUC release, along with the 100mm machine gun, beam sabers, and shield.
Snap-Fit Assembly: Color-separated plastic runners allow for an accurate build straight out of the box with no glue or paint required.
Opening Sequence Pose: Articulation specifically designed to recreate the iconic shield-bracing pose from The 08th MS Team opening credits.
