+Also used Bandai waterslide decal kit **118**. It's for the GM Sniper II (RGM79SP) or GM Command unit (RGM79G), but many of the decals are applicable to the RGM79C as well.
+In addition I had a third party, generic RGM79 waterslide kit as well, so I'm using a mix of decals from both. There's a better assortment of 'warning' and 'caution' decals in the third part kit.

+**Summer 2019:**
 An older Master Grade kit of the RGM79 GM 'Jim' good-guy grunt suit... that died by the bucket-full in the anime. This is the slightly enhanced 'Kai' version which has extra thrusters and different armament to the basic suit.
