Kitbash: HGUC Hazel Scout

This kitbash project came along as an idea to mimic the then-incoming HGUC GM Sniper. I dug up some references to the "hidden" HGUC unit, the Prototype RX-178 Mark II Gundam, then made the following changes:

1) Used the RG Rifle weapons system based on the 08thMS GM Sniper Rifle
2) Used the Sniper Shoulder Armor and Chest/Waist Added Armor, from the Prim Rose Add-on set
3) Used the GM Quel lower body, with a standard Hazel upper body and head.
4) Used the "bunny snout" mask and the RX-178 head vulcan unit "headphones".
5) Used the RX-178 Mark II backpack.


It fairly managed to pull off the GM sniper vibe, I think...


In "pre-drop" mode. I can imagine that this can be its mode of getting around, if it's not using the big rifle. In this case, the G-Defensor's Rifle will be used. 


I've imagined this as a space-to-reentry setup, but defintely it would be hard to use as a sort of atmospheric base jabber, particularly since the G-Defensor backpack is practically as separate ship.


A more "standard" Hazel configuration.
