Description
The Bandai HGUC #064 1/144 MS-05B Zaku I is a High Grade Universal Century model kit based on the Principality of Zeon's first mass-production combat mobile suit from the original Mobile Suit Gundam anime series. This kit features enhanced articulation including double-jointed elbows, allowing builders to recreate the Zaku I's iconic shoulder tackle pose from the show. Recommended for beginner to intermediate builders, this snap-fit kit requires no glue or painting for a complete build. The MS-05B Zaku I was notably piloted by veteran Zeon soldier Gadem and was the predecessor to the widely-deployed MS-06 Zaku II.
