Hasegawa 1/20 MK44 Ausf.B HAMMERKNIGHT – Kit Only [Pre-Order 2025]

⚠️ Advanced Pre-Order
The MK44 Ausf.B HAMMERKNIGHT returns—available now for early pre-order in its long-awaited 2025 reissue.

Originally released in 2016 and out of circulation for years, this legendary Maschinen Krieger variant makes its comeback with updated decals and refreshed packaging direct from Hasegawa Japan. Built on the late-generation MK44 chassis, the HAMMERKNIGHT features reinforced armor, sensor upgrades, and the distinctive UBR-pattern launcher—a long-range weapon platform adapted for overwatch and precision assault roles.

This reissue delivers a clean, uncompromised build experience for those who want the kit only—without the bundles or extras.

🧠 Studio Note from Linc:

“The HAMMERKNIGHT was one of the first MK44 variants I took into full studio development, and it’s still one of the most tactically layered. The UBR-pattern launcher gives it reach and precision—built for overwatch, not chaos. It’s a ranged suit: patient, calculated, and visually distinct. The weathering tells its own story too—scarred from Cradlefall, rebuilt for Dustnet. That balance between brutal design and deliberate intent makes it a cornerstone in my MK44 lineup.”

🪖 Lore Snapshot:

“Five waits. Five fires. Five finishes.”
Deployed under the callsign Five of Spades, this HAMMERKNIGHT served as a tactical overwatch unit during Operation Dustnet, piloted by Sgt. Elias Ferran of the 3rd MK “Card Soldiers” Company. Scarred from prior engagements and rebuilt from a salvaged Ausf.B, the unit's UBR launcher and countershaded camo allowed it to operate with precision and discipline under fog, rubble, and fire.
