About The Kit \u00c2\u00bb<\/p>\n

Another of the kits I snagged from the Amazon clearance sale on gunpla. I always wanted an MG Kampfer, but until I had the opportunity to get it for $10, never picked one up. It’s a wonderful kit even if it’s a little older in the MG line-up. The design is sleak and fast and it’s armed to the teeth which is always nice.<\/p>\n

For my Kampfer I wanted to do it in such a way as to show off the aluminum thrusters from MechaSkunk.com and Ako Creations. MechaSkunk makes a fantastic set of machined aluminum thruster bells for the Kampfer. The replace all the thrusters on this kit. The only thing I didn’t use was the K-Baffles for the shoulders. Instead I opted for some small bells from Ako Creations since I loved how they looked there. The dark gray (German Grey from Tamiya) with a light airbrushed camo pattern really sets off the shininess of the metal I used throughout the kit. I used actual metal parts where I could and the rest is painted with 3 coats of Alclad 2 metal lacquers. The first is Jet Exhaust followed by Magnesium and finally Aluminum to make it pop. Same set of paint I used on my Gally fig. Below is a list of modificatons\/additions I made to the kit:<\/p>\n
