Universal Century RX-77-2 Guncannon MG 1/100 Model Bandai 5063570  [B-5063570]

Master Grade RX-77-2 Guncannon 1/100 — articulated support mobile suit

The RX-77-2 Guncannon MG 1/100 presents the long-range support mobile suit from the Universal Century timeline as a Master Grade kit. Deployed early in the One Year War, the Guncannon provides artillery support with heavy shoulder cannons and reinforced armour to complement close-quarters units. This MG 1/100 edition recreates that role through a focus on internal frame construction and separate armour components, enabling shoulder weaponry and torso masses to be constructed as independent sub-assemblies. The kit includes articulated joints, an engineered internal frame, and numerous separately moulded armour sections reflecting the model's combat-oriented design.

Complexity and recommended equipment

Skill: advanced. Master Grade assemblies include intricate frames and several sub-assemblies. Basic modelling tools such as nippers, a hobby knife, sanding materials, and tweezers are appropriate; no specialised workshop tools are necessary.

Painting and seam finishing advice

Finishing steps are optional and dependent on the modelmaker's aim. Typical enhancements include seam-filling and panel lining around joins. Painting and topcoat choices allow alteration of surface sheen and uniformity, while pre-shading and parts separation aid detailed finishing work.

The MG 1/100 RX-77-2 Guncannon converts the artillery concept into a Master Grade model with a functional inner frame and clearly separated armour parts for detailed builds.
