Guide to Building the Guntank Early Type

The HG 1/144 RTX-65 Guntank Early Type presents the early Guntank appearance from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin, emphasising heavy armament and a compact, tank-like lower section. The kit delivers a straightforward build that highlights the mobile suit's unique silhouette.

Main Advantages of the Kit

Arm articulation and a turnable turret allow expressive posing, while well-defined part separation keeps coloured areas distinct. The High Grade finish offers good detail without requiring immediate painting.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/144
  • Grade: High Grade (HG)
  • Build Level: Normal

This Guntank Early Type is a balanced kit for display and modification, suitable for modellers at different experience levels.

Difficulty Rating and Recommended Kit Tools

The assembly is moderately challenging; equip yourself with side cutters, a sharp knife and sanding implements. Taking time over nub removal and dry fitting results in a neater finish.

Surface Preparation and Final Finishes

Panel lining helps define recessed details. For a refined presentation, apply decals and seal with a clear varnish in your chosen sheen.

Yes, the HG scale is beginner friendly, though basic modelling tools and patience will make the build much smoother.
Most HG parts are snap-fit and hold well, but careful fitting and optional bonding can improve long term stability.
Seam cleaning, panel lining and a tidy decal application followed by a varnish coat will lift the overall look significantly.
Model makers often add weathering, metallic details and custom decals to enhance realism without changing the kit geometry.
