Ver.ka MG RB-79 Mobile Pod Ball

$25.99

The RB-79 Mobile Pod Ball is a heavily modified version of the civilian-use SP-W03 Space Pod created by the Earth Federation to combat the Principality of Zeon’s Mobile Suit forces as the Federation scrambled to complete their mass production MS program. The modifications to the RB-79 Mobile Pod Ball included a thick layer of armor plating and a weapon hardpoint that could fit a variety of armaments. The RB-79 Mobile Pod Ball also features additional vernier thrusters, increasing the pod’s maneuverability and speed significantly. The Federation would often sortie in support of their Mobile Suit teams, but on rare occasions, the Federation would utilize Pod-Ball-only squads to overwhelm targets with large numbers. 

Included alongside the MG RB-79 Mobile Pod Ball for accessories:

  • 1/100 Federation Pilot Figure x2
  • Display Base

The MG RB-79 Mobile Pod Ball features a highly detailed internal frame packed with surface detail and layered parts. This model features transparent green viewscreens, giving builders a small window into the RB-79 Ball’s interior. Builders can access the RB-79 Ball’s cockpit by folding up the front viewport, revealing the 1/100 Federation Pilot Figure seated within! The MG RB-79 Ball’s arms feature multiple articulation points, giving builders the freedom to create unique action poses.

Weapons and Other Notable Attributes 

The RB-79 Ball’s most common weapon configuration features a single 180mm Low-Recoil Cannon mounted to the top of the pod. This weapon can rotate 360 degrees around its attachment point and swivels up and down for more precise aiming. Bandai provided a truss-frame display stand for the RB-79 Mobile Pod Ball, allowing builders to display the model alongside the rest of their Master Grade collection with equal gravitas.

Tips & Tricks

By implementing the technique of Top Coating, you can do a great deal to help preserve the longevity of your models. This process will protect the original plastic of your model kit and prepare it for any additional modeling techniques to follow.

You can drastically improve your results by making the details pop on the [INSERT KIT NAME HERE] with Panel Lining. The simplest solution for this is Gundam Markers or Tamiya Panel Line Fluid. Making your own panel wash is always a great option too! It is always recommended to Topcoat with clear gloss beforehand, as some of the products commonly used for Panel Lining will degrade the untreated plastics over time.

Another way to keep adding detail is by applying Stickers/Marking DecalsTop Coating before application will help decals stick to the surface much better. Using Top Coat after application will help hide the seams on traditional sticker decals as well as waterslides. This additional step will also keep them from peeling over time. Using Decals is a great way to add an even greater level of detail to your scale models.
