Description
The Bandai HGUC #117 MS-07B-3 Gouf Custom is a 1/144 scale model kit based on Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team. This iconic Zeon ground combat mobile suit is best known for its dramatic battle scenes piloted by veteran ace Norris Packard, and the kit faithfully reproduces its distinctive silhouette and full weapon loadout. Recommended for beginner to intermediate builders, it is a snap-fit kit that requires no glue or painting for a complete build. Originally designed by mechanical designer Hajime Katoki, the Gouf Custom remains one of the most popular Zeon mobile suit kits in the HGUC line.
Key Features
- Posable Mono-Eye: The mono-eye sensor can be adjusted left or right via a switch underneath the head for expressive display options.
- Full Weapon Arsenal: Includes the signature shield-mounted gatling gun, 3-barrel 35mm machine gun, heat sword, and heat rod wire made from flexible PVC material.
- Shoulder Locking Mechanism: Shoulder sockets feature a locking mechanism that allows the Gouf Custom to hold its arms in raised positions for action poses.
- Shield Storage System: The heat sword and gatling gun can be attached to or removed from the shield, replicating the stored configuration seen in the anime.
- Multiple Manipulators: Five hand options are included - weapon-holding pair, fist pair, and a right open-palm/splayed hand - for a variety of posing possibilities.
- Heat Rod Deployment: The heat rod wire can be recreated by swapping the magnetic grappler piece with the discharged piece and mounting the PVC wire.
- Snap-Fit Assembly: Color-molded PS, PE, and PVC parts snap together without glue, with foil stickers included for detail finishing.
