Assembly Guide

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.

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.

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

This Zaku III looks different! What makes the Production Type special?

Unlike the sleeker versions, the Production Type features a bulkier, mass-produced design with exposed internal mechanics and unique shoulder armor. It's a rugged workhorse, ready to dominate your shelf with raw power and battlefield scars.

Is the build more complex than other HG kits?

It's not significantly more challenging! The snap-fit system is still beginner-friendly, but the increased parts count and exposed mechanics might require a bit more attention. Take your time and enjoy the intricate details!

How's the articulation compared to other Zaku kits?

The articulation is decent! You can achieve dynamic poses with the arms and legs, even with the bulkier design. However, the backpack and shoulder armor might limit some movement in certain angles. But fear not, you can still capture its stoic presence on your shelf!

Can I customize this Zaku beyond the pre-molded parts?

Absolutely! Decals add custom markings or weathering effects, hand-painting brings battle scars or unique details, you can even swap weapons with other HGUC kits. Make this Production Type your own battlefield veteran!

Anything else I should know before adding this rugged warrior to my shelf?

The exposed mechanics might be a bit delicate, so handle with care during assembly and posing. But the reward is a truly unique Zaku that stands out from the crowd with its raw power and industrial aesthetic. Go for it!
