Comments:
In war the medium range artillery like mortar teams have proven to be essential in assisting the friendly forces on the front lines. Usually not too far away from the front lines, artillery forces play a critical role in the aid of the defense and offense of front line infantry by pummeling enemy forces into submission. Because of the key role that artillery plays in battles, many come under fire by enemy combatants who are sent behind enemy lines to search and destroy those medium range guns. This GM is apart of the 10th Artillery Division, the same division i gave the mass production guncannon, hence addition of the same roman numeral for 10 on the skirts as i did the guncannon. However, this GMs sole responsibility is to get in between the enemy gelgoogs, zakus, rick doms etc who have made it past federation lines and
to protect the important guncannons from these threats.

Ingredients:
- All purpose acrylic paint
- Bandai decals
- US Air Force Decals for the roman numeral 10

HGUC RX-77D Guncannon Mass Production Type

Mobile SUIT: RX-77D Guncannon Mass Production Type
Division: 10th Artillery
Division Insignia: Yellow Roman Numeral X on Navy Blue Shield
Rank: Corporal

Comments:
For this kit, i wanted to stay away from the traditional all red body and white head color scheme. I always thought it looked a bit wierd with a solid color for the entire body (whether red, blue, green, etc) with a white head. In my ideal UC universe, the federation would have standard colors much like any military with their standard colors. So I decided that for my collection, I should use a variation of the standard color for the GM as the standard scheme for all my "grunt" EFSF Mobile SUITs. I think if the UC universe was real, like any military, colors would be conforming (with the exception of special forces or ace pilots). So I chose light grey and primary red for my standard Feddie colors. With a GM 79 and a GM command to match in color and markings, I think it will be a nice addition to my HGUC collection. The seams where a real pain in the A for this kit, not paint friendly engineering at all. Anyways, as usual mistakes here and there but im glad i finally got to finish.
