Bandai HGUC Super Gundam [Gundam Mk-II + G-Defenser]

Super Gundam, a combined mech composed of Gundam Mk-II and G-Defenser. This mech is from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, piloted by Emma Sheen [Gundam Mk-II / Super Gundam]
and Katz Kobayashi, Fa Yuiry [G-Defenser] .

Technical and History: (Taken from mahq.net/)

"Early during the Gryps Conflict, the Anti-Earth Union Group's newly-captured RX-178 Gundam Mark II mobile suit was soon outclassed by new variable-form mobile suits/mobile armor
being developed by their Titans enemies. Although fairly impressive for its innovative new "movable frame" construction, the Gundam Mark II soon found itself left behind in terms of
mobility, armor and firepower. To compensate for these shortcomings, the Anaheim Electronics Company developed a new weapon to enhance the Mark II's performance.
Called the FXA-05D G-Defener, this new space fighter-like unit was capable of docking with the Gundam Mark II. During cruise/flight mode, this form was called the G-Flyer.
However, the Mark II could assume full control of the G-Defenser's weapons as a mobile suit, becoming what was commonly called the RX-178+FXA-05D Super Gundam.
The Super Gundam sported an approximately 20% increase in speed/acceleration over the stand-alone Mark II, as well as provided the benefit of additional (and more effective)
gundarium armor and the powerful long rifle and missile pods. These improvements allowed the Super Gundam to operate on a more equal footing with the high-performance variable
mobile suits being fielded by the Titans at the time."

Here are some photos:

Super Gundam

Pretty bulky. The biggest among my HGUC kits when transformed to Super Gundam. Took up a lot of space if combined.

G-FLYER

Haven't seen this mode in Super Robot Wars series game, neither the SD G Generation series games.

GUNDAM MK-II

Pretty common in MS Zeta Gundam show. The first of Kamille Bidan's mech (Stolen black Gundam Mk-II) before his Zeta Gundam.

G-DEFENSER

Piloted by Katz Kobayashi and Fa Yuiri too.

G-DEFENSER COCKPIT CAPSULE

Cockpit capsule is cute.

All in all, this is a pretty decent kit. Finished the kit within two days. There were many parts needed painting but managed to finish them in the process.
