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

The Bandai MG 1/100 RMS-179 GM II Semi Striker delivers a satisfying build for hobbyists with prior kit experience. As a Master Grade release, it combines fine surface detail with durable joints, producing a model that rewards careful assembly. The Semi Striker variant adds distinctive armament and reinforced armour that give it a standout profile in a GM collection.

Scale, detail and build challenge

At 1/100 scale the GM II Semi Striker gives room for crisp detail and precise finishing. The Master Grade level means multiple small parts and assembly steps that suit builders who like a technical build. The moulding and undergating reduce visible nubs, helping achieve a cleaner final appearance when sanding and painting.

Poseability and display options

Joint design on this kit supports a broad range of poses, with confident rotation and tension in shoulders and elbows for dynamic stances. The kit includes standard equipment like a beam saber and shield, plus variant weapons that expand your display setups from action scenes to static showcases.

Painting and customisation

This kit splits into convenient sub-assemblies that make masking and painting straightforward for airbrush or brush techniques. Panel lining is simple to apply and lifts the panel detail nicely, and the parts layout makes swapping or adding custom bits feasible for those who like to personalise their models.

Specifications

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

For skilled builders seeking detail and articulation, the MG 1/100 RMS-179 GM II Semi Striker is a rewarding Master Grade project that stands out in a shelf display.

Build time varies with experience and finishing level. For an advanced builder doing basic painting and panel lining expect several weekends. Full custom paint and decals will add more time.
Essential tools include nippers, sanding sticks, hobby knife, plastic cement or runners clippers for parts removal, and fine files. An airbrush helps for smooth coats, while panel liner pens work well for finishing.
Aftermarket parts and decal sets are sometimes produced for popular MG kits. Check specialist retailers and hobby forums for compatible upgrade options like metal joints or custom decals.
The kit looks good straight from the box, but painting greatly improves realism. Even a light topcoat and panel lining enhance the depth and reduce the plastic look.
