Bandai Hobby HGUC 113 Gundam 0083 RGM-79C GM Type C 1/144 model kit, S

I got this as a Christmas present and it ended up coming like a week and a half early compared to the delivery date.All together a good kit and a good buy.

I have been a huge fan of EFSF grunts and RGMs - The RGM-79 type C is my choice for a heavy gunner, bazooka-wielding soldier. Everything about it is just about right - the size, the color combination, and the military-like design. There are some painting works needed to be done but nothing are too difficult. The strong point of this model kit is that it is rigid without loose joints. I like how the shoulder joints are connected by cylindrical plastic instead of ball-polycap (except the legs); the former feels more secured and guaranteed that the arms will not fall off. The shoulder joint can be moved slightly toward the mid-line. One will get the feel this kit will endure for long time.however, every joints feel so stiff to move, making it hard to pose. If one has the HGBF's GM/GM, one will understand how fluid and sleek that kit is. Mobility wise it is adequate but It has no abs-crunch. I like how the wrist on the right could be moved allowing it to hold the bazooka as I intend to. Ankles are great just like many other GMs - the heel can be lifted for better posing or raise its height. One of the major drawback is there are scant of colored stickers - aside of the EFSF's marking the only colored one is the V's sticker for the crotch. I felt it was too plain if it is not painted. I added the decals as this is now one of my favorite gundam/RGM.The type-C makes an excellent pair with the RGM79 Type G and the MSA-003 NemoPros:Soldier-like design, Bazooka wielding RGMColor combination of desert / dark blueRigid jointsCylindrical plastic supports the shoulder for durabilityCons:Scant amount of color stickers. Painting is recommended. May look boring without paints ( but awesome if one did)Stiff joints

Sehr gut!

Very nice , good looking , fun build.

This is an older kit, so it doesn't have the same engineering as modern HG kits. It doesn't have a ball joint shoulder, but it has a peg on a hinge for similar general results. Overall, the articulation will do pretty much everything you would want it to do.But the main draw of this kit is the accessories. It has a machine gun and bazooka, sure... but those hands. It has holding hands, trigger hands, open hands... even a special hinged open hand. So you can easily have this kit cradle your gun or your bazooka with an open hand. In fact, it has too many hands- it has an entire separate runner with more hands. This is great- you will have left over hands for other feddie kits (extra runner comes with generic grey backs too).The only problem with it is that it lacks an effect for the beam saber. Of course, if you have another GM, you will be able to get a spare, and pay for it with hands. A great purchase to pair with a GMII as a result.
