Description
The Bandai HGUC #068 MS-05B Zaku I (Black Tri-Stars) is a 1/144 scale snap-fit model kit from the Mobile Suit Variations (MSV) line. This kit is a color variant of the HGUC #064 Zaku I, recreating the distinctive Black Tri-Stars color scheme through molded plastic colors and including dedicated marking stickers to represent each of the three pilots - Gaia, Ortega, and Mash. Recommended for beginner to intermediate builders, this snap-fit kit requires no glue or painting to complete. The Black Tri-Stars' Zaku I units were famously active during the Battle of Loum and the Attack on Side 5 during the One Year War.
