Description
The Bandai HGGTO #13 1/144 MS-05S Char's Zaku I is a High Grade model kit from the Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin series. This kit reproduces Char Aznable's personally customized Zaku I as seen in The Origin IV: Eve of Destiny, featuring upgraded armaments originally intended for the MS-06 Zaku II, including spike shoulder armor and a belt-fed machine gun. Recommended for beginner to intermediate builders, this snap-fit kit requires no glue or painting to complete. The HGGTO line is renowned for its modernized engineering of classic One Year War mobile suits with excellent articulation and sharp detail.
