    I love this zaku, own 2 of em. Planned to have 3 and reenact a Zaku platoon.
    The only downside I experienced was the usage of ordinary machine gun for poses was very difficult. It was much easier for the bazooka and anti ship rifle.

    @TamerChris 5 років тому +9

    Just a trivia on the marking stickers: on the original Origin Char's Zaku, there were many leftover ones not mentioned in the manual where to stick them, but inside this manual, many lines and the A12 one were mentioned. Meaning those who got the first one can refer to this manual where to apply those ones. The only new one I can see are the ones for the eye and lenses. Those used to be foil stickers.

  • @TheScarletInfector
    @TheScarletInfector 4 роки тому +5

    I just got back into Gunpla and started with this Red Comet Char's Zaku II. My only gripe with the model is that on the top spike of the shoulder there is a gap because of they way they molded it so I may fill it with putty and paint it. Second at least on mine the mouth grate that holds the cable in place on the front of the face falls off, if I do end up painting it the extra thickness of the paint may fix that.

      These are model kits, yes. They're snap-fit, though, so no glue required. There's a few basic tools suggested, but it's not a super expensive hobby if you're just into it casually.
      On the other hand, if you _want_ it to be expensive it absolutely can be. Premium tools will make builds easier once you learn to use them properly, and if you get into customization then you're looking at paints and potentially materials to make dioramas.
