The Bandai MG 1/100 RB-79K Ball Type K (08th MS Team Ver.) is a Master Grade model kit of the mobile pod from the OVA series Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team, built at 1/100 scale. This kit recreates the distinctive orange Ball Type K piloted by protagonist Shiro Amada in the series' opening episode, featuring enhanced mechanical detailing and mixed-material construction including soft parts, a metal shaft, and lead wire. Recommended for intermediate to advanced builders familiar with inner frame construction and multi-material assembly. Originally released in May 2005, the MG Ball Type K remains a fan-favorite companion piece to other 08th MS Team Master Grade kits.
