Description
The Bandai PG 1/60 MS-06S Char's Zaku II is a Perfect Grade model kit from the original Mobile Suit Gundam series, recreating the iconic red mobile suit piloted by Char Aznable, the "Red Comet" of the Principality of Zeon. Standing approximately 30cm tall when completed, this 1/60 scale kit features an elaborate multi-layer internal skeleton with pistons, hydraulics, and sensor arrays beneath removable armor panels. This is an advanced-level build with 548 snap-fit parts across 23 runners, recommended for experienced builders. It was the third kit released in Bandai's prestigious Perfect Grade line.
