Putting together the MG 1/100 RMS-179 GM II Semi Striker

The Bandai MG 1/100 RMS-179 GM II Semi Striker is built for hobbyists who prefer a challenging project. As a Master Grade kit it offers a balance of surface detail and mechanical robustness. The Semi Striker configuration gives it distinct weapons and reinforced armour that make it a notable entry in the GM range.

Build complexity and parts layout

The 1/100 scale allows intricate moulded detail and sensible part separation for painting. Master Grade complexity means many small sections and precise fitting; the kit benefits from careful trimming and dry fitting. Undergates help reduce visible nub marks when properly cleaned up.

Articulation, posing and display

Well-engineered joints permit a wide variety of stances, with shoulder and elbow joints offering good rotation and holding power. The kit ships with a selection of weapons such as beam sabers and a shield, providing options for dynamic or neutral displays.

Personalisation and finishing

There is good scope for customising paint schemes and adding weathering. Sub-assemblies are convenient for masking, and panel lining is straightforward to apply. Builders can swap parts or add small custom details to make a unique finish.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/100
  • Grade: Master Grade (MG)
  • Build Level: Advanced

The MG 1/100 RMS-179 GM II Semi Striker is a satisfying Master Grade kit that rewards careful work with strong poseability and customisation potential.

Basic modelling tools cover most needs: quality nippers, a hobby knife, sanding supplies and some tweezers. For painting an airbrush and compressor are useful but not mandatory.
Seam removal is manageable thanks to smart part splits and undergating. Use fine sanding and putty where needed to achieve a smooth finish.
Panel lining, selective weathering and a controlled topcoat significantly boost realism. Decals and subtle dry brushing add depth to armour panels and joints.
Many MG weapon parts are compatible if the mounting points match. Dry fit before committing and be prepared to modify small pegs for a snug fit.
