From Mobile Suit Gundam, RGM-79 GM is the Earth Federation’s first mass-produced mobile suit, developed from data gathered during the RX-78 Gundam project. Designed for reliability and ease of production, the GM represents the backbone of Federation forces during the latter stages of the One Year War, prioritizing practicality over experimental performance.
The HGUC RGM-79 GM brings this iconic grunt suit into 1/144 scale with a build approach focused on clarity, proportion accuracy, and ease of assembly. The kit features a simple yet effective joint structure that supports natural standing poses and light action stances, reflecting the GM’s no-nonsense battlefield role. Armor parts are cleanly molded with minimal seam complexity, preserving the utilitarian aesthetic of the original design.
What builders tend to appreciate most is how the GM’s simplicity and realism translate into the finished model. The restrained armor layout, classic visor head, and compact frame give it a believable military presence that contrasts sharply with hero units. Combined with a smooth build flow and strong Universal Century identity, the HGUC RGM-79 GM offers a satisfying High Grade experience rooted in Gundam history.
