Bandai 1/144 HGUC MS-05L Zaku 1 Sniper Type

Born from the collaboration between Bandai Namco Games, Bandai, Sunrise, and Banpresto for their "Harmony of Gundam" project, the Zaku I Sniper Type is a new Zeon Mobile Suit especially created for the new "MS Gundam: Bonds of the Battlefield" arcade game. This impressive kit is easy to assemble and looks great even without paint! Its right knee can be folded down when taking a sniper position, a nylon mesh cover and bendable wire are included for detailing and connecting the backpack to the sniper rifle, and there are clear plastic parts for the mono eye and scope lens. A Zaku machine gun is also included as a backup weapon.

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.
No Cement Required

Gunpla (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.

No Painting Required

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Zaku I Sniper Type different from the regular Zaku I?

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.

Does the sniper rifle look impressive?

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.

How's the articulation for different sniper poses?

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.

Is it beginner-friendly to build?

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.

Does it come with any other weapons besides the sniper rifle?

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.
