Hey, I’ve been looking to get the MG Zaku Cannon for a few years, but HLJ has had it on backorder for the past 2 years now. Has anyone built or purchased the kit recently? If so, when were you able to get it and what are your thoughts on it?

Although they have a different style, the 3.0 Gundam and 2.0 Zaku still look together. I would advise not applying the RG style decals on the 3.0 as that does make it stand out a bit.
I found that the RX-78-2 2.0 and the Zaku II 2.0 have very good detailed inner frames. Had lots of fun detailing them. If memory serves me well, the Gelgoog 2.0 has a great inner frame too.
