The Zaku II is the most common Zeon mobile suit at the beginning of the Gundam series, as well as throughout the entire Universal Century timeline. Since this mobile suit is one of the first ever created for battle, the Zaku II quickly becomes inferior to newer and more powerful mobile suits. Because it is a mass production mobile suit, there are many units left by the end of the war. Just because no one in the Universal Century respects the Zaku doesn’t mean this model isn’t impressive! The detail is what you expect from PG models, as this kit features a fully-developed inner frame that can be shown off thanks to movable armor panels. The classic Zaku machinegun and heat hawk are also included and detailed like you've never seen before. If you’re looking for a good first jump into the PG series, look no further! Get this kit to show off your model-building prowess today.

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.
