Bandai 5057982 - HGUC 1/144 Kampfer Gundam Model Kit - High Grade Modellers Edition  [B-5057982]

HGUC 1/144 Kampfer: compact kit with flexible posing

The HGUC 1/144 Kampfer captures the fast, hard-hitting profile from Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket while staying true to High Grade scale proportions. It gives modellers an efficient platform for display-ready poses and custom finishes.

Range of motion and structural detail

This kit features engineered joints that let you recreate combat stances with confidence. Shoulder and elbow linkages support extended arm positions, and the leg joints are constructed to retain stability even during dynamic arrangements.

Build advice and essential tools

Moderate in complexity, the Kampfer is best approached with basic modelling kit tools. Clean cuts with nippers and gentle sanding will speed up assembly and reduce the need for filling or corrective work.

Tips for paintwork and final assembly

Prime panels before painting to improve coverage and use a fine-tip marker or wash to emphasise panel lines. Apply water-slide or dry-transfer decals, then finish with a satin or matte coat to protect your work.

For modellers seeking a subject that rewards careful finishing, the HGUC 1/144 Kampfer is a compact but expressive kit. It balances straightforward assembly with plenty of scope for paint and detail upgrades.
