What to expect from the HGUC 1/144 GM Type C

The HGUC 1/144 RGM-79C GM Type C brings a faithful recreation of the Federation grunt suit into the High Grade lineup. It combines clear proportions with straightforward engineering, offering a rewarding project for modders and painters.

Joint design and panel engineering

Joints are designed to provide natural posing without excessive looseness. The kit's panel separation helps hide seams and reduces the need for intensive clean-up after cutting parts from the runners.

Skill range and handy tools

Listed as a moderate build, the kit works well for hobbyists at different stages. Keep side cutters, a sharp modelling knife and sanding sticks to hand for neat assembly and fit adjustments.

Painting prep and final touches

Light sanding at contact points and using primer will make paint layers sit better. Panel line washes, decals and a satin or gloss topcoat complete the model and protect your work.

Specifications

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

Overall, this HGUC release is a compact, capable kit that rewards careful assembly and basic finishing, making it a versatile choice for display or diorama use.

It is approachable for a first HG kit if you have patience and basic tools. Expect some trimming and sanding but no advanced techniques required.
Part swapping is possible for creative customisation, though fit varies between kits. Test-fit parts before committing to glue or paint.
Panel lining, selective washes and decals highlight details. A careful topcoat keeps the finish even and reduces chipping.
Small shims, a drop of clear nail polish or a light application of solvent cement on polycaps can tighten joints without major mods.
Use decal softener for curved surfaces, let them fully dry, then seal with a clear layer to prevent peeling.
