HG The Origin #15 MS-05 Zaku I Char Aznable

$19.99

The MS-05 Zaku I was the first mass production Mobile Suit created for the Principality of Zeon based on Zeonic Company’s MS-04 Bugu. The MS-05 Zaku I would receive several updates for a more cost-effective production run, the most notable difference being its significantly weaker power generator. The Principality of Zeon also decided to outfit the MS-05 Zaku I with internally-mounted pipes, sacrificing the Mobile Suit’s overall mobility to prevent any damage to the power system from incoming attacks. Char Aznable was one of the first pilots to operate the MS-05 Zaku I, using his personalized unit during the Battle of Mare Smythii to disable a squadron of RCX-76-02 Guncannon First Types and their carrier ship. Char would later pilot the MS-05S Zaku I Custom, which benefits from several improvements.

Included alongside the HG Zaku I (Char Aznable Custom) for accessories:

  • 120mm Zaku Machine Gun
  • Shield
  • Heat Hawk (Deployed)
  • Heat Hawk (Stored)
  • Action Base Adapter

Tips and Tricks –

By implementing the technique of Top Coating, you can do a great deal to help preserve the longevity of your models. This process will protect the original plastic of your model kit and prepare it for any additional modeling techniques to follow.

You can drastically improve your results by making the details pop on the HG The Origin #15 MS-05 Zaku I Char Aznable with Panel Lining. The simplest solution for this is Gundam Markers or Tamiya Panel Line Fluid. If you’re up to a challenge making panel wash is always a great option too! It is always recommended to Topcoat with clear gloss beforehand, as some of the products commonly used for Panel Lining will degrade the untreated plastics over time.

Another way to keep adding detail is by applying Stickers/Marking DecalsTop Coating before the application will help decals stick to the surface much better. Using Top Coat after application will help hide the seams on traditional sticker decals as well as waterslides. This additional step will also keep them from peeling over time. Using Decals is a great way to add an even greater level of detail to your scale models.
