Bandai Hobby - Mobile Suit Gundam - #7 RX-75 Guntank, Bandai Spirits HGUC 1/144 Model Kit

Was my third build and it was fun and easy not to tedious. Love the HG build time/ ease. Super nec part of the collection, 0079 gang

Quick and easy model that was fun to build. Worth it for the price too!

Loved this little guy in Gundam Evolution, sad to watch a great game be shut down.The kit itself is a fun build, a solid 9.5/10. Only issues are the poly caps these old kits use on the joints that will degrade over time and the 4 little parts on the front and back of the tank base next to the treads that just rest in there. Easy to knock them out accidentally.

Just what I was looking for, thanks.

HG Guntank is an ancient kit but it gets reprinted for good reason, it doesnt need major engineering and the simplicity is nice.Only complaint though is that some of the wheels are on really thin pegs, not all of them, but some. One peg already snapped but superglue will fix it; if you are careful though it should be fine.(I do wish the treads could move, but it is a HG kit after all, so i can let that slide)

Was exactly what I ordered and was easy to assemble

Good

This is an older kit and there are several minor issues it has for someone expecting things with the current High Grade kits.The first is that the instructions are only in Japanese, that isn't a major negative, but it's something to be warned about and means this should not be a first gunpla if you don't read Japanese. There are a few points where it seems to be explaining things in more detail for some parts which took me a bit more to figure out the specifics of compared to other kits that I've done with several where it points to do the same with a piece on the other side or not showing some steps but pointing towards them.You also need to fight some of the pieces to get them locked in and a few places don't want to stay together...I think that part of that is due to the wear on the molds used that it needs more cleanup in odd places or shifting that you can't really see that make it non-precise...a few of the pegs need some thinning to fit in right, and a few of the holes for them might need a bit of drilling. There are also a few that are somewhat loose (I had an issue with one of the shoulder cannons that the sides of it keep slipping slightly to leave a gap and both cannons are somewhat loose and difficult to keep in a pose that isn't fully up or down.There are also some nubs that are a pain to get to on some parts due to the shape of them, and the plastic all seems to mark easily...and there's a lot of them on semi-detailed curves such as with the wheels. You also have the treads seeming to be needing a little bit of a tightening as it's a bit loose in some areas, not enough to do something like fall off or come out of position, but some of the upper portions flex quite a bit to the touch where they aren't supported.I am also unsure about the cockpit since it seems like it should have a either more detail for the pilot or have an optional part with a foil sticker to just shine there as I kind of wonder about the point.However, the end result is still good, just a bit more difficult to get looking right compared to even things like the RX-78-2 (Revive) or other kits that I've done. It's a must have for the classic Mobile Suit Gundam trio but it does show it's age far more than other kits you can get for the same price.
