Bandai 1/144 HGUC Nemo (Z Ver.)

Bandai 1/144 HGUC Nemo (Z Ver.) — RMS-179

The RMS-179 Nemo is the A.E.U.G.'s answer to the rising tide of Titans mobile suits during the Gryps Conflict. Built by Karaba in collaboration with Anaheim Electronics, it took the proven GM II frame and upgraded it with parts borrowed from the Rick Dias and Gundam Mk-II, producing a workhorse mobile suit that could actually stand up to anything the Titans put on the field. If you've watched Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, you'll recognise the distinctive blue-green Nemo as the mass-production unit that fills out the A.E.U.G.'s battle lines.

This kit is for builders who want a clean Universal Century mass-production design that sits well alongside Zeta-era headliners like the Mk-II or Hyaku-Shiki without competing for shelf space.

This kit is designed for beginner-to-intermediate builders and is a straightforward snap-fit build with solid articulation for an HGUC.

The HGUC Nemo (Z Ver.) carries the contemporary HGUC tooling, with improved proportions and articulation compared to the original 2005 release and the body sized to match the rest of the modern Zeta-era HGUC line. The kit includes a beam rifle, beam saber, and shield. Colour separation handles the main blue, white, and grey blocking with minimal painting required. No transformation, no inner frame, no surprises — this is a faithful mass-production grunt kit done well.

What Makes This Kit Special

  • Zeta-Era Mass Production Design: The RMS-179 Nemo is the A.E.U.G. equivalent of the Titans' Hi-Zack — an essential background mobile suit for any UC display
  • Updated HGUC Tooling: Modernised articulation and proportioning over the original 2005 HGUC release
  • Anaheim-Karaba Engineering: Hybrid design that borrows components from the Rick Dias and Gundam Mk-II in-universe
  • Clean Beam Loadout: Beam rifle, beam saber, and shield — the standard A.E.U.G. grunt setup
  • Strong Colour Separation: Blue, white, and grey moulding captures the Nemo's appearance straight from the runners
  • Universal Century Builder's Kit: Sits naturally alongside the HGUC Rick Dias, Mk-II, and Hyaku-Shiki for A.E.U.G. fleet displays
  • Action Base Compatible: Standard 3mm peg on the rear skirt for aerial display

What's In The Box

  • Beam rifle
  • Beam saber with effect part

Fast Australian Shipping

Same Day Dispatch: Orders placed before 2pm weekdays ship same day. Orders after 2pm or on weekends ship next business day.

Australian Stock: In stock and ready to ship Australia-wide from Mecha Express. The HGUC 1/144 Nemo (Z Ver.) is the A.E.U.G.'s mass-production mobile suit from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, with beam rifle, beam saber, and shield included.

What to Watch For

This is a straightforward HGUC with no known fit or stability problems. The shield hardpoint can feel slightly loose if you swap the shield between arm and back-mount repeatedly. If it works loose, a light dab of clear nail polish or PVA glue on the peg restores the friction.

Builder Tips: Panel lining lifts the Nemo significantly. The moulding is clean but the grunt-suit detail is subtle. A grey panel line marker on the white sections and a black or brown marker on the blue gives the finished kit much more presence on the shelf.

Build Notes

Snap-fit assembly. No glue required. Nippers or side cutters recommended for clean part removal. Expect a 2-3 hour build with light panel lining. Action Base sold separately. Recommended age 15+.

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.
No Cement Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

No Painting Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Zeta Ver. Nemo different from the classic green Nemo?

The Zeta Ver. Nemo ditches the classic green for a sleek, pre-colored blue and white scheme, reminiscent of its Zeta Gundam cousin. This color scheme gives it a more aggressive and modern look compared to the original Nemo. It's a great way to add a touch of Zeta flair to your Gunpla collection!

Is it difficult to build for a beginner?

Not at all! The HGUC line is known for its beginner-friendly snap-fit construction, and the Zeta Ver. Nemo is no exception. No glue or painting needed, just snap it together and unleash its fury on your shelf. The well-designed instructions and intuitive parts make it a breeze to put together, even for newcomers to Gunpla.

How poseable is it?

Despite its bulky armor, the Zeta Ver. Nemo is surprisingly agile! The HGUC articulation system shines here, allowing you to recreate dynamic combat scenes or strike imposing poses. The arms and legs move smoothly with satisfying clicks, letting you unleash the Nemo's full potential on your display shelf.

Does the pre-colored armor limit customization?

Absolutely not! While the pre-colored blue and white are striking, the Zeta Ver. Nemo welcomes your creative touch. You can: Add decals or stickers for unique markings and emblems. Hand-paint for personalized details like weathering effects or battle damage. Swap weapons with other HGUC kits for more combat options. Modify with custom parts or accessories, like additional thrusters or beam effects.

Should I get the Zeta Ver. Nemo if I already have the original Nemo?

That depends! If you're a Nemo fan or love unique color schemes, the Zeta Ver. Nemo is a must-have. Its sleek blue and white armor, pre-colored details, beginner-friendly build, and customization options make it stand out. Plus, it adds a touch of Zeta Gundam flair to your Nemo collection.

Great selection of kit, excellent value for money

Awesome kit, great extras. Only criticism is that the kit comes with a base so you don't need the second one. The kit also doesn't have the ability to take the blue LED bonus so if you don't have another use for it it is wasted. Luckily, I'm a Gundam tragic so will always have uses for extra bases and lighting kits.

Excellent service and fast delivery

I purchased on 6 Jan and my order arrived on 13 Jan. It was very well packed, with both boxes in excellent condition. Cam even provided a small free gift in the box! Overall purchasing experience was smooth and hassle-free. I haven’t had the chance to build the kit yet, but based on the service and care taken with shipping, I would happily purchase from this store if there are other Space Battleship Yamato models available.

Very rare with fair price

If you were one of the lucky ones that were able to travel to Sydney Gundam Base pop-up in 2025 and queued extremely early (like the first 40 or so) on the first day, probably you were able to grab one of these. Otherwise, the only alternative I would know of is traveling to Japan and being uber lucky of having it still being sold at Gundam bases. Otherwise, it's a second-hand market, and prices will go up. That said, the price was fair, I think it would be similar price as using a dropship service from Japan, with the exception that it's much faster and way more guaranteed you will get proper merchandise. So, Mecha Express, Cam, thank you so much for your store!
