No new polycap was included for the spray missile launcher, so you'll need to pull the polycap off the existing cannon and reuse it.

Articulation is the same as before.

This kit is the HGUC Guncannon (21'th Century Real Type Ver.), released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. Compared to the standard release HGUC RX-78 Guncannon [Revive] , the molded colors have been changed and Real Type waterslide decals have been added to the lineup. As a bonus, a newly sculpted spray missile launcher is also included.

So the basic body features and accessories are the same as the original kit. True to the Revive version, it shows excellent articulation and joint strength, and with the new weapon added, it boasts an even more upgraded package. That said, it's still a Real Type kit through and through — there are a lot of waterslide decals packed in at high density. The build itself goes by quickly, but it's worth keeping in mind that the decal work is quite challenging and time-consuming.

All in all, this kit is significant simply for bringing us a Real Type Guncannon in modern quality. If you don't mind putting in the work on waterslide decals, this looks like a kit you'll have a lot of fun with. :-)
