This is a 1/144 Gouf Flight Type from the 08th MS Team line. It's a neat looking model painted with Model Masters Dark Gull Gray and Tamiya Black Green and Red on the body and Tamiya Medium Blue and Metallic Gray on the shield gattling gun. I love this little guy. Such an interesting looking design and went together just nice.

Excuse me, *Curb-stomping*.

Excellent work. I like the Gouf line, and Norris more or less curb-stomp the 8th MS Team in his Custom will always be my favorite Gundam fight.
Also, how is the flexibility on this guy?

I finally watched the clip of his final fight. I'm just starting to actually watch Gundam for the first time since starting kits ten some years ago. Sad the kits started the interest and now I'm catching the show.

It's not the best, flexibility speaking. The torso is rigid, which in turn hampers what you can do with the legs and arms. The skirt armor doesn't budge, which makes it even worse. A friend on here told me to look at the HGUC Gouf Custom as my great woes over the HG version from 1999 have been gleefully corrected.

So he is basically restricted to what.....arm, shoulder, and knee movements? Ah well, it IS an older kit. Also, the leg movement I can somewhat understand, seeing as it doesn't need to walk or run. The only real purpose of the legs are landing gear and booster housing.

Yeah, his final fight is spectacular. I gotta ask though....why didn't the Guntanks just move to the other side of the battle field?
I mean, the first guy sat there as Norris came from above, the second sat behind the Gundam lady, and the third was juust watching EZ8 and Gouf Custom duke it out before it was destroyed.
Yeah, I plan on buying the New HG 1/144 Gouf Custom sometime soon.

Who knows. I've only seen that little chunk. My guess was they were committed to the position and simply couldn't move or they're so damn slow that there was no way to get out of the line of fire until it was too late.

Unless they move at below 4 MPH, they could have moved. The first Guntank sat there for more than a minute, just waiting for Norris to kill them. The third was literally watching EZ8 and Norris fight. It sat there as Norris killed him with HIS MINI GUN.

Piloted by all idiots then? Maybe they were Leo pilots in another life?

Despite the fact that I find the belief of reincarnation to be preposterous, I will continue this joke:

Or maybe they used to be Zaku Tank pilots?

Yep. Bandai released a true HG version and their light years in design difference.
