The Bandai HGUC #14 1/144 AMX-011 Zaku III is a High Grade Universal Century model kit based on the mass-production mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ. Developed by Neo Zeon as the successor to the iconic MS-06 Zaku II, the Zaku III features a bulky, imposing design with versatile armament options and modular construction. This snap-fit kit is suitable for beginner to intermediate builders, requiring no glue or paint to complete. The concept design for this kit was handled by Hajime Katoki, and it was originally released in September 2000 as the 14th entry in the HGUC line.
