It is a Mobile Horse, piloted by Master Asia's personal horse. Both of which are named Fuunsaiki. Remember; it's G-Gundam, and all the Gundams are controlled by motion-capture suits.

all glory to soviet zeon

edit: Just finished assembling the "proper" way, with a hobby knife and sanding stick, even then, assembly only took me an evening while watching a show in the background. It's a really easy kit, just totally lame when it comes to weapons options, so I ordered some extras. Hope to see some progress posts soon!

Secret Weapon makes some, But I think they'll be too small. There's this guy who made some just by cutting up a hypodermic needle, they look like that would work better

Actually it's a custom AK-12 I ordered online, I had to file the inside of the hand down to make it fit. But no, you can put a weapon in whatever hand you want.

Generally speaking with Gunpla weapons, they're designed to fit in either hand. Most HG kits come with a gun-holding hand for both left and right, they're just generally posed right-handed for accuracy of the TV version.

I'd look into Kotobukiya's Modeling Support Goods line, since they sell roughly similar scale items. Bandai has also produced its own lines of model kit upgrade parts and weapons as well, though most of them are either the cartoonier weapons of Build Fighters or the specific aesthetic they were going for with Iron Blooded Orphans.

Take a look at the System Weapon line. They're more expensive, but far more detailed.

Not a bad choice either. Pretty sure they're already mostly pre-assembled and pre-painted as well, though, and are a little more expensive because of it.

They're also highly customizable. You get two different weapons in each set, each having something like three or four different barrels/blades, stocks, ammo drums, etc apiece.

On top of the other suggestions, there's Little Armory. They do realistic IRL weapons that'll fit Gundams

Just as a side-note; you can get sets of standalone generic Gundam hands that are designed to hold weapons with a trigger guard, as opposed to the Hi-Mock's generic fist. The System Weapon sets also include Gundam and Zaku-type hands for holding their respective set's weaponry.

I'm in the same boat, not big on painting or modding, haven't done it in years despite still throwing kits together every now and again. HG's are great for an afternoon build, or a movie double feature, but I really do like the MG and RG lines as well for their more complex and intricate construction. Last MG I built was the Origin RX-78-02, and that thing is fuckin' solid.

Wish I could afford more expensive kits like the larger MG Version Ka or the Perfect Grades, though. Took me weeks to put together the MG Sazabi v. Ka., and I really want to do the same with the Psycho Zaku from Thunderbolt.
