The Bandai HGUC #71 MS-05L Zaku I Sniper Type is a 1/144 scale model kit of the Zeon long-range sniper mobile suit originally designed by Hajime Katoki for the Harmony of Gundam project. This retrofitted Zaku I variant is armed with a backpack-powered beam sniper rifle and features a unique deployable knee stabilizer for sniping poses, making it a standout among Zeon HG kits. Recommended for beginner to intermediate builders, this snap-fit kit looks great even without paint. The MS-05L later appeared in the Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn OVA series, piloted by Zeon remnant leader Yonem Kirks during the attack on Torrington Base.
