The F71 G-Cannon is a medium-range combat and heavy fire support Mobile Suit, developed by the manufacturer SNRI and mass-produced by the Earth Federation. This retro model from the classic original range of the 1990s illustrates the major transition in the late Universal Century towards more agile, miniaturised mechas.
Built to a scale of 1/100, this model faithfully captures the armoured and functional silhouette of this defence unit. The strength of this kit lies in its back-mounted equipment: the two massive 4-barrelled machine cannons mounted on its shoulders are fully articulated, able to swivel or be removed depending on the chosen combat mode. Its white armour, accented with contrasting red, blue and orange stripes, features an effective reproduction of the original colour scheme. The flexible rubber joints (polycaps) provide excellent friction to maintain stable firing positions on display.
