Bandai Gunpla Model Kit - MG RB-79 Ball Ver Ka.

Overview

Appearing in Mobile Suit Gundam and Mobile Suit Gundam 0083, the Ball is released as a Master Grade Ver.Ka kit under the supervision of mechanical designer Hajime Katoki.

Personal Note (from Ah Chong)

The Ball is one of those kits that quietly shows how deep Gundam design can go.

As a Ver.Ka, this MG doesn’t try to look “cool” in the usual way—it feels believable. If you enjoy mechanical detail, textures, and the idea of machines built to work rather than fight, this is a very satisfying build.
