Bandai 5063507 - MG 1/100 MS-08E Kampfer Assembly Kit  [B-5063507]

MG MS-08E Kampfer Overview for Kit Builders

The MG 1/100 MS-08E Kampfer from Bandai combines finely tuned engineering with accurate surface detail. The kit captures the low, aggressive lines of the Kampfer seen in the OVA "Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket" and is designed to reward careful assembly.

Mobility and Split-Mold Detail

This Kampfer offers a wide mobility range thanks to a well-constructed joint layout, especially at the shoulders and hips, allowing dynamic action poses. Part separation and split molding help maintain color accuracy across different panels without heavy paint applications.

Skill Level and Workshop Recommendations

Geared toward modellers with some kit experience, this build is moderately challenging. Recommended supplies include a pair of side cutters for clean sprue removal, a precision hobby knife, and sanding pads for smoothing joins.

Surface Work and Detailing Advice

While the kit looks strong as built, adding panel washes, minor paint accents, and a protective clear coat will increase realism. Decal placement and gentle weathering can add character without a full repaint.

The MG 1/100 Kampfer is a dependable choice for collectors who want a high poseability Master Grade with excellent molded color separation and detailing potential.
