Featured in the 1/35 UC Hard Graph EFGF MS[G] Platoon Briefing Set of Bandai's is the M353A4 Bloodhound hovercraft vehicle from the Mobile Suit Gundam 08th MS Team OVA. This was released in January of 2007 and is part of the UC Hard Graph line of model kits that are 1/35th in scale. This line of model kits could be likened to the popular 1/35 Armor series made by model kit manufacturers. This isn't your regular snapfit kit as some glue and skill is required when building.
The 08th MS Team is a story arc in the One Year War wherein the war has moved on to Earth between the space born forces of the Principality of Zeon and the Earth Federation. Here mobile suits are deployed in land attack mode and similar to modern tank warfare, are supported by conventional land forces. The purpose of the Bloodhound hovercraft is as a support and intelligence gathering vehicle. It has a sonar system attached to the side that it plants to the ground during combat in order to detect enemy mobile suits. The thick jungle that the team are fighting in makes it difficult for them to detect the enemy.
