The 1/144 HG MS-06S Zaku II Principality of Zeon Char Aznable’s Mobile Suit Red Comet Ver. (what a mouthful!) arrived in stock the other day. It consists mostly of runners that you’ll find in other Zaku kits, but it’s still pretty neat (and hey, it’s Char’s). Let’s take a look at the box and what’s inside, so you can see for yourself how it compares to other Zaku kits!
The Box
- The definitive edition of Char’s Zaku is here with two types of machine guns (machine gun & belt-fed machine gun) and various armaments!
- Various gimmicks let you reproduce realistic action poses from the animation!
- Weapons: Bazooka Type A2, Heat Hawk, Anti-Ship Rifle ASR-78
- Additional hand parts
- Markings
This side of the box gives you a bit of history of the kit & Char. You’ve also got your usual front and back shots of the finished model.
The Runners
A1: Pale red
A2: Red
B2: …another shade of red!
B1: Grey
C: Red. These parts are actually made of a softer, more flexible plastic, which is a nice touch.
D1: Grey
D2: Grey
E1: Red
H2/H3: Grey
F: Grey
…and the miscellany: a bunch of polycaps, the machine gun belt, and a whole bunch of stickers. (They’re mostly white — you may need to zoom in to see them better!)
What do you think? Is this going to be THE Char Zaku kit?
Pick one up and decide!:
