The Bandai MG 1/100 FA-78 Full Armor Gundam (Ver.Ka) is a Master Grade model kit from Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt, designed under the supervision of legendary mecha designer Hajime Katoki. This heavily armed kit faithfully recreates the Full Armor Gundam piloted by Io Fleming, featuring removable external armor, vinyl joint seals, and an extensive arsenal of weaponry. Recommended for intermediate to advanced builders due to the complexity of the armor layering system and vinyl joint cover installation. Originally released in July 2016, this kit remains one of the most impressive and feature-rich Master Grade offerings in the Gunpla lineup.

Key Features

• Removable Full Armor System: All external armor pieces can be removed to display the base Gundam underneath, allowing two distinct display modes.
• Vinyl Joint Seals: Joints can be optionally covered with vinyl material to recreate the protective texture coverings seen in the Thunderbolt anime.
• Opening Missile Hatches and Cockpit: Missile hatches on various armor sections and the cockpit hatch can be deployed for attack-ready display poses.
• Emergency Escape Pod: The cockpit area features a transformable emergency pod that can be stored inside or separated from the Gundam.
• Articulated Backpack Sub-Arms: The large backpack includes independently movable manipulator arms capable of holding shields and weapons.
• Selectable Chest Duct Design: The chest duct can be built in one of two configurations for customized appearance.
• Water Slide Decals: Includes a Ver.Ka water slide decal sheet for highly detailed markings.
