MS-14 FS Gelgoog Marine Cima Custom

B-Club 1/144 scale resin kit

Introduction by Metal Slime

The last of the mass production line of Zeon's MS-14 Gelgoog. Designed especially for the marine corp, with enhanced burners and propellant tanks. Equipped with beam sabres for melee combat. However, the MS-14F line is still considered to be a bit inferior to the Gelgoog Jaeger.

The FS variation is a special customized version assign to the team leader. The different being the rod antenna (with the sub antenna on the backpack) and 40 mm vulcan on the head. The chest area is also equipped with special cooling system. Despite the fact that Gelgoogs were designed to be able to use beam weapons, only Cima's unit is equipped with one due to cost restriction.

Despite almost all the parts are identical to the Gelgoog Marine kit, it was molded in different type resin. The normal type came in gray resin while this one is in ivory which IMO is marginally inferior (maybe I'm just too picky). Neverthless, it's still easy to handle.

The one point that needs special attention is the binders in the back. The mounting area is very small, so it's better to pin these with brass rods. Sam goes for the propellant tanks.

Painting

Primary coat consists of middlestone (H21) + white and sandy brown (H17) as an accent. The purple area is a custom mixed from aircraft gray, purple and others.
