E.F.G.F. Ms[G] Platoon At Briefing Set

Recreate a military briefing scene directly inspired by Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team with the E.F.G.F. MS[G] Platoon at Briefing Set, a detailed 1/35 scale model from Bandai Spirits’ U.C. Hard Graph range. This collection explores the Universal Century through the lens of realistic military modelling, highlighting the vehicles, soldiers and equipment that accompany the Mobile Suits on the battlefield.

The centrepiece of this set is the M353A4 Bloodhound, an imposing Hover Truck used by the Federation’s ground forces to provide support, communications and reconnaissance for Mobile Suit units. Its chassis features a high level of detail, with numerous mechanical components, external equipment and detection devices reproduced to scale.

The assembled vehicle measures approximately 27 cm in length, giving it a particularly impressive presence for a 1/35 scale model. Its underground sonar system, antennas, stabilisers and turret are reproduced to capture the Bloodhound’s key features. Some of this equipment can be positioned in different ways to vary the model’s display.

The set also includes five multicoloured 1/35-scale figures, including Shiro Amada, Karen Joshua and Eledore Massis, accompanied by two other members of the Federation forces. Bandai has paid particular attention to the uniforms, facial expressions and postures to give the whole set the appearance of a genuine military scene.

A wide range of accessories allows you to create a complete briefing scene around the Hover Truck: a table, chairs, ammunition crates, pistols, a toolbox, a water tank, cups and various items of military equipment. These elements allow the model-maker to create a lively diorama rather than a simple display of the vehicle.

The parts are moulded in several colours and combine different materials suited to the vehicle’s mechanical and flexible components. Unlike many modern Gunpla kits, this U.C. Hard Graph kit requires the use of model glue during assembly. Painting, washes and weathering effects are not essential for assembly, but will help to fully showcase its ‘military model’ theme.
