HG MS-05 Zaku I Origin

Here is the Zaku I kit from Origin series. Like the Zaku II kits and others, this is an amazing kit for HG series.

And yup. It comes with that giant gun.

The Box art.

 Manual

Two stickers. The RG style clear stickers are nice and unlike other Zaku kits, there aren't a lot, however it is enough to make this kit look great.

 And the weapon. A lot of em.

The build is very similar to the Zaku II kits. In fact, there are a lot of same parts. The out of box build was about two hours which includes careful sanding.

All those weapons.

As you can see, from out of box build pictures, this kit is very detailed. You don't need to add extra details to make this kit look good. Just paint it and it will be stunning. Just look at my RX78-1 kits which I just detailed the out of box build kit.

I made this kit to static display and painted it with Vallejo paints. most greens were airbrushed however rest was brushed on. The mono-eye is painted on as well instead of stickers.

While I enjoyed the large arsenal of weapons, I was little disappointed of its shoulder. The right shoulder has an option of either the yellow skeleton frame or the shield. However, you have to disassemble the whole shoulder to change it because of one part. all they had to do was add one more part and it was have been hot swappable.

Still, this is a great kit and highly recommended for Zaku lovers. I can't wait for the next the Origin kits.
