Completed this very nice HGUC kit last week and im very happy with it. Wil probable be a long time before a build a MS from Gundam outside of the One Year War, unless i get tempted by the Jesta.
What i went for with this is a Type C at the end of 0079, remember reading about the Type C being fielded right at the end of the OYW and that it lacked the antenna (Sentinel 0079?) which i really didn't like anyway and why i added a shield with the Earth Federation star. Not really a fan of antenna's on amazing pieces of future technology, you can make a giant mobile suit that moves faster than a human yet go can't make a decent radio?
Livery is meant to be some sort of real type low-viz scheme, did try out all grey at first but did not look right, in Gundam a coloured chest seams to be a visual rule.
Found a nice decal for the right shoulder, seams to be a swan in front of a planet as some sort of nose art.
And check out the fisted manipulators, a new standard from Bandai, nice one!
Beam saber came from the 30th anniversary HG Gundam, which of course when i completed this i found the lost one, think this one look better myself though.
Always like this parade ground / airshow type display, even added the little pilot i recently made.
This was about the most action pose i went with, kinda worried about ruining the paint at the joints.
Was mean to enter this into the Europe Gunpla Cup over at MAC forum but just couldn't figure out how to add the label which had to be added without a photo shop, next time, really enjoyed this build anyhow.

man, this work is fabulous, pretty neat & well even bearing in mind that is a regular unit, the color treatment makes it look very appealing... congrats man & if u r going to participate on that contest u mentioned, i wish u the best =)
Wonderful custom you have there. Nice work and a good mixed of accessories. RGM Type C is one of my favourite MS in Gundam Universe. This is a gem bro!
Thanks all!
