## Description

Product Description The second release in Bandai's new "Real Grade" series is Char's Zaku II. Just like the first kit in the Real Grade line, the RX-78-2, the Zaku II packs an amazing level of detail (think MG or PG) into an HG-size kit, complete with dynamic action and moving features. The perfect counterpart to the RG Gundam, the Zaku II comes with the same kind of posable inner frame, piping, and enough markings to keep you busy for some time. Bandai continues to raise the bar.

Review: A worthy model - This was the first Real Grade I ever built and I had a blast. The model has remarkable detail that is comparable to Master Grades (sometimes even outclassing them). It has superbly intricate mechanics and armor, for example when you bend the leg, the armor covering the thighs shifts dynamically to accommodate for any pose you can imagine. The trees are molded in two different shades of plastic for each color (2 reds, 2 grays, etc.) which works so well that there's almost no reason to paint this kit. It's beautiful straight out of the box. The design of the internal components is really unique and interesting, especially when assembling it. Some parts, like the leg, are molded entirely together as a single piece. Sometimes-confusing instructions explain what you need to clip off, bend, snap on, and rotate in order to get the kit together but after you understand exactly what the instructions are asking you to do, it's generally easy. The only thing that makes construction difficult is the fact that all this complexity is shrunken down to 1/144! The pieces can be exceedingly small. The most difficult part of construction is application of the decals. They're contour-cut stickers that look pretty darn good stuck straight on there... but there are over 100 stickers! Some of them are so tiny that putting them on can make your head spin (like little metallic nobs and such). After it's all put together the result is impressive to say the least. The stickers do an incredible job of making the model look like a real, metal Mobile Suit. I'd recommend using a little bit of superglue to get some of them to stick, however. The metallic stickers on the joints tend to want to unbend themselves and pop off. If you're looking for a really high quality model, try a Real Grade, they're super fun and have the greatest articulation and realism of any model under Perfect Grade.
Review: Best out there...a bit of an advanced build though - Quality wise...excellent! Decals are plentiful, and TINY! It's a model kit you have to assemble, and it's about five inches tall. Looks great even without painting it. Took me about six hours to complete. I'm not an advanced modeler, and it still came out great. Just be careful of the tiny parts if you build it. Once the decals are on it, it's the best Gundam I have seen in person. Nice articulation for one so small as well! I think this is better overall than any other 1/144. Real Grade is a great line of Gundam to get into, and worth the money I feel if you appreciate quality and DETAIL. Not for little kids obviously, as it can't be played with once finished, at least not roughly, it's made for display more than play. Also the small parts are not good for young kids at all! Choking hazard big time! A beginner could build this with a lot of patience, it's not impossible, just a little complicated, and lots of small parts. Price is up there, but worth it I feel if you like high quality models that you won;t have to paint to look good. Nice contrast of colors in this kit! Thanks for reading! Good Luck!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 3X Better than a High Grade, 3X more difficult to build
*by D***F on March 24, 2016*

Bandai's Real Grade 1/144 Char's Zaku II Out of the Real Grade series so far there are few Non-Gundams. The Zaku is a staple of classic Gundam and more so is Char's crimson unit. This kit does a fantastic job of rendering the MS-06S with great detail and articulation. Articulation is comparable to the Master Grade 2.0 Zaku II however I have found it to be a bit loose and "fiddly" around the waist. A nice wonderful touch that Bandai incorporated into this is a moving monoeye, just like in the Master Grade. As this was one of the very first RG kits, it does tend to over-do it with the panel lining, decals and chrome accents. Decaling will take a lot of time and patience with this kit, especially the pin-striping decals. One caveat for lesser experienced gunpla builders will be dealing with the Zaku's segmented cables. Like the Master Grades, each tiny segment is a piece and there are a LOT of them. If you're panel lining, they have line grooves too so again... Lots of patience is required for this kit to make it look good. Colors looks good for the most part. The Salmon pink and it's off-tone look nice together, however I'm not as sold with the maroon next to what I call a bubble-gum pink sort of color. I really think Bandai choose the wrong off-shade color for the maroon chest pieces as it stands out too much. It comes with clear pieces for the monoeye and gun and bazooka sensors, however it only gives you a rather plain looking pink sticker for the eye. If you really want this to look you should invest some time to make these parts look good with paints. It does okay with posing and holding weapons. The rifle and bazooka can be held well with the left hand on the support, but you have to forgo the handle tab to make it happen. Honestly the Zaku was never designed with real world articulation in mind but Bandai has managed to make it seem somewhat plausible here. As an early kit, it does feature the fold out tabs on the rifle and bazooka. They work, but it a very tiny and fragile part and Bandai opted out of this in later RGs for better stability and trigger hands. It comes with the Zaku Rifle, Bazooka, Heat axe, a clip for holding the axe, action base connector, a set of RG hands, a set of closed fists and a tiny Char figure. I normally don't pay much attention to the figures as they are too tiny and fragile to even bother with. Anyway, this a great looking kit once completed. It's harder to build than newer RGs IMO, but if you can handle it, you will be satisfied. Now if Bandai would only do some more non-Gundams in RG...
