    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.

    I absolutely LOVED building my first Zakus recently, so damn good! Thanks for your great content, I know I'm playing catch up but it soooo nice to find so much info here. I started panel lining on my third build and am now looking forward to grabbing some weathering pencils to get some real battle details going. Thanks again, channels like yours have really given me the confidence to make great models!

    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.

    I like to sand the stock sides of the vertical piece and on the bottom of the horizontal piece to make it a little bit more like the Gundam Thunderbolt zaku machine gun. It makes it able to shoulder the rifle tighter to the body. It looks amazing

    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.
