High Grade (HG) Universal Century (UC) RX-75 - GUNTANK (007) - 1/144 Scale
Release Date: Jan 2000
Description
Driven by Hayato, and almost as regular a fixture in the original anime as Amuro and the Gundam, the Guntank has languished for years with only a sub-par kit to represent it. Bandai has now corrected this injustice with a top-quality HG rendering of this longtime favorite!
Tracks are made of flexible, easy to assemble plastic strips, but they don't move on the completed kit. Arms, back cannons and cockpit/head are posable. Molded in the final colors and featuring snap-fit assembly.

Tips & Tricks
- For better results, some details are needed to be applied with Gundam Markers or Mr. Color paints.
- Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers and if any, marking decals and painted details.
- If using matte/flat-finish top coat, it is advisable not to spray on the clear/translucent and softer parts - can be done by masking or spraying top coat while the said parts are separated.
