The back side is mostly hidden by the backpack, so you can't really see it.

All the main exterior armor on the lower body has been made clear.
The clear area is quite large, but the effect of actually seeing through to the frame underneath doesn't look all that great.

With the front/rear opening gimmick activated

This kit is the MG clear exterior armor version released to commemorate Gundam's 30th anniversary. It's essentially the same contents as the original kit with just one extra clear runner added. In other words, it lets you choose between standard armor and clear armor for certain exterior parts, so for the basic kit features please refer to the normal version review — this review only covers the added clear parts.

MG Guntank Review

◆ Areas Applied and Effect

Interestingly, it's not the arms or legs that have been made clear, but rather the entire main torso armor. Thanks to that, the total clear area is larger than just about any other kit out there, but since the internal frame is fairly flat, the see-through effect isn't particularly impressive.

◆ Difficulty of Swapping Parts

Because the parts to be swapped are large and wide, this is quite a difficult kit when it comes to removing and attaching armor. The wide panels on the lower body in particular are at high risk of breakage if you don't carefully check the manual, identify the exact positions of the locking pins, and slowly work them apart. The upper body is relatively easier by comparison, but you still need to have a good understanding of how the armor is joined before separating it. Overall, swapping the armor on this kit is pretty tough, so think it through carefully before you start.

◆ Overall Impressions

It's a kit that's tough to swap out, but in terms of sheer clear area, it's absolutely top-tier among special clear kits. That said, the see-through effect to the interior isn't all that great relative to the area covered — if anything, the beautiful translucent look of the clear armor itself from the outside seems to be the bigger selling point.

Still, the fact that it's clear armor for the Guntank of all things gives it some rarity value, and in terms of the sheer amount of clear area, it's a special clear MG with a pretty distinct identity all its own. :-)
