I was initially super excited for this until i learned that they made no changes to the inner frame. Most 20+ year old kits haven't aged well, but the Kampfer specifically has aged very poorly, ESPECIALLY the knees. When it comes to things like seam lines, color accuracy, or nub placements, a bit of work can fix it, but there isn't much you can do to fix bad articulation.

@OKF. 10 ай бұрын

And the sticker placement, but since a lot of people don’t use stickers and just paint it, that’s about it

@jhaybz29 10 ай бұрын

I broke mine on that part (the knees) it was designed very poorly so caution to anyone who wants to build an MG Kampfer

Same I canceled my P Bandai order like twice because it's such a cool design but I couldn't find any good reviews for this thing.

I felt the same way too. Bandai dropped the ball with this release. Such a big opportunity to revise the Kampfer to something more modern.

@@travisfranz703as a hug fan of this mobile suit im very satisfied with the kit. Its by far the oldest ive built and the only one ive done thats used screws, its a bit tricky at times for how simple it is but after painting the in my opinion ugly gray and green weapons, i love it.

@emperorchampion3520 10 ай бұрын

Just a heads up theres a miss print in the instructions in the first batch of released kits (which seems you got since it looks to be missing the leg thrusters in the new leg armor) that dont show you adding the new thrusters to the new leg armor. But if go to the p-bandai preorder Schwer page of the May-Sep closed preorder (USA/english page) itll show the correction for the manual which shows you needed to add parts A1 6&7 to the part J2 11 in the 6(10) section of the manual and parts A1 9&10 to the part J2 11 in the section of 7(7) of the build manual. It seems they didnt make a large enough announcement for people to hear about this.

What I would like to see on an updated MG Kampfer (if they ever wanted to make one) is how they would tackle the thighs. Dem thicc thighs have no cut for swivels without some thigh armor separation/layering, so a layered thigh armor that allow the thigh to rotate separately from the armor would be cool to see 🤔🤔🤔

@sharpy3453 10 ай бұрын

considering this year there was only one new mastergrade, and a ver ka at that, its not likely we will see alot of new master grades anytime soon.

Dumbell joints at the hips?

@alfianfahmi5430 10 ай бұрын

@@flamestoyershadowkill6400 Let me explain : Kampfer's bulky thigh consists of the outer armor that connects to the butt thruster, and the inner thigh that was concealed inside the outer armor. The design of the inner thigh (without the outer armor) on Kampfer's concept art is just like Zaku's, so why not utilize Zaku's thigh and somehow connect the outer armor on to the top of the thigh joint so that the thigh could rotate separately? They can engineer it like Gundam Mk.V's thigh 🤷‍♂️

Just finished this kit. I did a full custom Metallic paint on the original MG Kamfer, and it turned out gorgeous!! When i saw this release, i immediately preordered. After building it, I am disappointed the build form wasnt properly updated. It looks AMAZING, but i agree its just not on par with current MGs. Bandai needs to release a 2.0 of the standard Kamfer!

You want a pump on a shot gun for a mobile suit for the same reason you want a pump on a shotgun for a person. ammo. could you have the ammo loaded automatically? sure? could you have the weapon pump itself? sure. but both of those options are expensive. maybe if this were a federation suit then you'd have auto shotguns, but this is a zion suit. Zion was shoveling money at mobile suit design. i somehow doubt there was much of a budget to resign 1 weapon on one mobile suit for Ace pilots. also note that this suit in particular came out near the end of the one year war.

@Sinsteel 10 ай бұрын

Cool kit but I don't feel like I need a second MG Kampfer. It always looked good on paper (or on the box) but didn't much like this mech in kit form. The weaponry loadout is identical to the stock kit. The Sturmfausts attach to the knee joints facing forward though. BTW, as someone who started building gundams in 1997, while the new kits are fantastic, there really isn't much to complain about with the older kits. Try some of the vintage car or plane models tooled in the early 1970s and then get back to me, lol.

@Smilomaniac 10 ай бұрын

I did model kits in the 90’s, it was a mess of parts that didn’t match and had to be glued while a dozen vices kept it together. You were lucky if there was more than one color plastic. And if you played warhammer you’d have to deal with metal assembly and customization. However, 00 vs 23 Bandai are night and day. Even 2010 and 23 are miles apart in how quickly Bandai improved their RG line. Just because other model hobbies did (and still do) it worse does not mean you can’t have expectations of Bandai. Sure, appreciate what we have today, stay humble and be thankful, but let’s not pretend that they didn’t evolve their designs a ton since then.

@Sinsteel 10 ай бұрын

@@Smilomaniac The modern designs are much, much better, but every master grade kit I've ever built has been excellent and aside from polycaps which everyone hates, I feel like it's only in comparison to the newer kits that the older MG ones are "bad", granted that I've only built under 10 of them, but when I got them in the 90s I was blown away by the details and instantly in love. I never needed to glue anything, or modify anything, so maybe the kits I had were outliers, idk.

The typical order is actually gloss coat>decals>optional second gloss coat to seal them in>final matte coat The gloss coat gives the decals a solid, flat surface to lay down on, but even that's optional.

You can't be surprised if the actual build of this MG is disappointing and annoying considering that it's based on the MG MS-18E Kämpfer; a 2001 kit. Even though I'm not too into UC, I'm shocked that Bandai still hasn't released an MG 2.0 of the MS-18E Kämpfer; especially with the MG 2.0 RX-78NT-1 Gundam NT-1 that came out in 2019.
