Description 1/144 scale Guncannon Mass Production Type kit from Gundam 0080, War in the Pocket.

"The RX-77D Guncannon Mass Production Type is a less expensive variant of the original RX-77-2 Guncannon produced from the Earth Federation's "V Project." The Mass Produced Guncannon doesn't have a Core Block System and similar to the RGM-79 GM, its armor consists of titanium alloy and a ceramic composite instead of the stronger and and much more expensive Luna Titanium Alloy. This makes the Mass Production Guncannon lighter, thus increasing its performance in acceleration and fuel consumption. As opposed to the Guncannon, the Mass Production Type did not utilize a powerful beam rifle. Instead, it used either the typical GM's 100mm or 90mm machine gun, the latter having less ammo capacity, but having better armor penetration ability. The Mass Production Guncannon has also been known to utilize the GM Kai's Beam Gun, the upgrade to the GM's Beam Spray Gun." -Gundam Wiki

Such a big improvement lookwise over the first Guncannon imo, excellent detailing! They somehow made the chunkyness cooler! (love the bar over the mouth, looks like an American football helmet) XD

The Guncannon MP is a really awesome design- my primary knock against the model is that it relies on a sticker for the visor. For my "White Dingo" Guncannon MP and another I made for my brother, I put a clear piece of plastic in front of the sticker to make it look better. [link]

Interestingly enough, for the hobby exclusive White Dingo GM and Guncannon they included a clear part for the visor.

Yeah at least they improved the visor part on the exclusive set, same with the GM ground type. But from now on im pretty sure every visor should be clear. The only thing i recently noticed being exclusive visors are blue and normal ones are usually green. Dang Bandai lol.

Yeah, the heads that came with the "Ground War" set were really nice... really wish they would release a FULL HGUC Ground GM though.

Funny how they were able to give the HGUC GM a visor and not the MP Guncannon... the MP Guncannon came much later.

Not to call them lazy, but the HGUC of the MP Guncannon is the only one of that MS- it wasn't in the original line or have a MG. Took nearly 25 years for the HGUC GM Sniper II to get a model! XD

That never got a model did it? Even the GM Sniper Custom and GM Cannon have old models. (I should know, I BUILT both!)

Well, semi-built for the Cannon. Its kit-bahsed parts live on in my White Dingo GM Cannon.

I'd love to see any three of those as an HGUC...
