HGUC #43 MS-09R-2 Rick Dom II
$19.99
The MS-09R-2 Rick Dom II is a mass-production Mobile Suit developed by Zimmad Company to succeed the MS-09R Rick Dom as the Principality of Zeon’s primary space-use Mobile Suit. The MS-09R-2 Rick Dom II benefits from redesigned armor panels, allowing Zimmad to fit the Mobile Suit with a much more robust powerplant. The MS-09R-2 Rick Dom II entered production late into the One Year War, incorporating several technologies from the MS-14A Gelgoog that reduced the strain on the Mobile Suit’s pilot. The Principality of Zeon failed to complete the MS-09R-2 Rick Dom II’s planned production run but did assemble a handful of the Mobile Suits that would serve in later conflicts.
Included alongside the HG Rick Dom II for accessories:
- MMP-80 90mm Machine Gun
- 360mm Giant Bazooka II
- Sturm Faust x2
- Heat Saber
Articulation –
The HG Rick Dom II features an entirely new construction supported by an array of polycaps. This model features double-jointed knees, providing a wide range of motion to create dynamic poses. The HG Rick Dom II does not feature a built-in action base attachment point and does not include a custom adapter, so you’ll need to use the universal u-shaped adapters included with your chosen display stand.
Weapons and Other Notable Attributes –
The HG Rick Dom II includes the 90mm Machine Gun and 360mm Giant Bazooka II for handheld armaments. The 360mm Giant Bazooka II features an articulated handle to help pose the weapon atop or underneath the Mobile Suit’s shoulder. This model also includes a pair of Sturm Faust disposable rocket launchers with color-accurate red nosecones! The HG Rick Dom II also sorties with the iconic Heat Saber for close-range engagements. Builders can attach the Heat Saber to the Mobile Suit’s backpack when not in use.

Description
By implementing the technique of Top Coating, you can do a great deal to help preserve the longevity of your models. This process will protect the original plastic of your model kit and prepare it for any additional modeling techniques to follow.
You can drastically improve your results by making the details pop on the MS-09R-2 Rick Dom II with Panel Lining. The simplest solution for this is Gundam Markers or Tamiya Panel Line Fluid. Making your own panel wash is always a great option too! It is always recommended to Topcoat with clear gloss beforehand, as some of the products commonly used for Panel Lining will degrade the untreated plastics over time.
Another way to keep adding detail is by applying Stickers/Marking Decals. Top Coating before application will help decals stick to the surface much better. Using Top Coat after application will help hide the seams on traditional sticker decals as well as waterslides. This additional step will also keep them from peeling over time. Using Decals is a great way to add an even greater level of detail to your scale models.

Despite it being an older kit, it’s still one of the coolest HG Rick Dom types out there. It’s got surprisingly nice articulation for its age and comes with a decent amount of accessories.
