G-Rach's height and weapons size
Hi guys, I really liked the mecha designs of the reconguista in g series, and while the series itself was meh (to me at least), the mechas were really interesting. I'm currently working on a build, with some scratchbuilding, and one thing that interested me alot was G-Rach and more precisely, it's bits. Unfortunately since no kit was made of it, there barely seems to be any info about the suit. I looked at the final few episodes again and made some comparisons. The Kabakali is around 19 meters in height, and when comparing it to the in anime shots of it, it seems like the G-rach is around 70 meters tall? What's more confusing is the bit size, it was really only used once, so it's really hard to figure out how big it's bits are. Essentially, I'm just wondering if anyone has knowledge on how tall the G-rach is, and how big the bits on it's back skirts are. Thank you very much.

Yes, it seems that lacking a gunpla release there's no way to have "official" specs on the G-Rach... unless they will include them in the next edition of MS Encyclopedia
Judging from a few screenshots such as the following ones

the whole mobile armor would appear to me around 50 meters tall or so, albeit the scratchbuild model featured on the Reconguista volume of Gundam Weapons perhaps is closer to the 1/144 scale-equivalent of 40 meters.

That said, it wouldn't be completely unreasonable to think for the bits an approximate diameter of some 1 - 1.5 meters.
But of course all these are only very rough estimates.

Re: G-Rach's height and weapons size
Really appreciate it, that helps alot! The reason I choose them is because they are much smaller than providence's dragoons (I'm gonna go for a little bigger, since it's hard to believe a funnel only 1.5 meters tall and 1.2 meters width, gonna go with 2 x 2) but have the same amount of beam spam and such xD. I'm gonna assume probably the size of Kakabali's head.
Re: G-Rach's height and weapons size
The Hobby Japan scratchbuild is apparently about 30 cm tall, which is 43 meters in 1/144 scale.
