Arrived in good condition
Great and easy build, only issue I had with it was the shoulder pads when rotating the arms. Cement it should fix the issue.
Attention all Gundam enthusiasts! The Universal Century (UC) timeline is a continually unfolding celebration of Gundam excellence. Born with the first anime series, UC introduces the legendary RX-78-2 Gundam. Famously referred to as the "Grandad," this model has remained iconic since its inception and represents the quintessence of Gundam. In...
Read MoreGunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.
Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Gundam series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Gundam kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.
Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.
This specialized variant ditches the close-quarters brawling for long-range domination! It boasts a massive sniper rifle and enhanced targeting systems, allowing you to pick off enemies from afar. Imagine a Zaku perched on a rocky outcrop, its scope glinting as it lines up the perfect shot.
Absolutely! The rifle is the star of the show, dwarfing the Zaku itself. Its intricate details and chunky design perfectly capture the weapon's firepower. Plus, it's fully poseable, letting you adjust its angle for maximum sniping intimidation.
The Zaku I Sniper Type retains the decent articulation of the regular Zaku I, allowing you to position it for various sniping scenarios. You can have it kneeling for stability, crouching behind cover, or even standing tall with the rifle raised high, marking its target.
Just like the regular Zaku I, this kit uses snap-fit construction and comes pre-colored in a cool sniper-grey scheme. This makes it perfect for Gunpla newcomers who want to experience the satisfaction of building and posing a unique Zaku variant.
While the sniper rifle is the main attraction, the kit also includes a standard machine gun for close-quarters situations, offering some flexibility in your posing options. You can even equip the Zaku I Sniper Type with other 1/144 HGUC weapons for further customization.
