While its rival, the Southern Cross Zaku, sold reasonably well, this Zaku, practically the main character's mobile suit, was an unfortunate kit that remained unavailable for a long time, even through Premium Bandai.

However, the quality is excellent in both sculpting and articulation.

The base kit is the ORIGIN version of the Zaku II, but it's composed of numerous new parts.

What's interesting is the patchwork of new and existing exterior parts. The fact that some of the new parts appear damaged adds a certain contradiction, making it a rather rare Gunpla.

The build involved some seam line removal, full brush painting, and a straight build with decals.
