1/550 MAN-03 Braw-Bro - 1982 Vintage Original (Red Logo)
The First Newtype Terror: A Relic of the A Baoa Qu Campaign
Experience the dawn of all-range attacks. At Dragoon Gaming, we have secured a rare vintage original 1/550 Braw-Bro. Originally released in September 1982 as part of the "Best Mecha Collection" (#45), this kit is a definitive piece of Gunpla history. This is the authentic 1980s release, featuring the Red Bandai Logo and the classic matte-finish box art prized by serious collectors of early Universal Century mecha.
Modular Engineering from the Golden Era
The Braw-Bro was the Principality of Zeon’s experimental Newtype-use Mobile Armor, piloted by the legendary Challia Bull. This 1/550 scale model represents the traditional era of the hobby, requiring plastic cement (glue) and paint to complete. Its standout feature is the modular separation gimmick, allowing the kit to be split into four independent blocks to recreate the all-range wire-guided combat seen in the original 1979 anime.
Why this 1982 Vintage Original is a Must-Have:
-
Authentic Red Logo Box: A verified 1982 first-era release with the original matte box texture.
-
Modular Separation Gimmick: The kit can be disassembled into its four primary combat modules, complete with wire-guided gun turret details.
-
Unbuilt & Complete: All parts remain on their original 1982 runners in pristine, unbuilt condition—a rare time capsule for mecha historians.
-
1/550 Scale Accuracy: Perfectly scaled to display alongside other vintage Mobile Armor kits like the Elmeth or Zakrello.
-
Investment Grade: As one of the final ten entries (#45) in the original Best Mecha Collection, "Red Logo" Braw-Bros are increasingly sought after in the UK market.
How to build:
As a traditional 1980s kit, the Braw-Bro requires hobby glue. At Dragoon Gaming, we recommend Tamiya Extra Thin Cement for a clean bond on the large flat surfaces. For the screen-accurate finish, we suggest a light grey spray primer followed by hand-detailing the iconic yellow gun turrets and red sensor arrays.
