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.

Kit Features & Gimmicks

Articulation

Due to the rotating articulation being hindered by the cannon panels, the head can only pivot on a ball-joint neck.
The arms can..
- Swing on a rod joint.
- Raise horizontally.
The upper elbows can rotate.
The elbow joints can only bend up to 80 degrees.
Bop Missile Launchers can rotate.
Though hindered by the panels, the waist can rotate 360 degrees if the torso is slightly lifted up.
Cannons can pivot up and down.

Weapons/Other Gimmicks

The cockpit can be removed to reveal pilot figurine.

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.
