HGUC zaku I : the first zaku

One of my favourite kit representing the first zaku before tons of variants.

one of first hguc with real great manipulator (before this type the hands was an opinion)

no great mod on kit, the main are engraved panels on the whole kit, under skirt detailing and monoeye mod with 

glass moulded by fire (used the original monoeye piece as mold). Decals printed with clear sheet from baremetal,

no primer, only worked with sandpaper on the whole kit to do a good grip for the enamels (used humbrol and model master).

drybrush with lighter and darker main colors and a final touch with light gray and white, and finished with matt black as panels lining.

the piece with some detail:

after finishing:

The zaku landed in italian sud coast

the rear with the grea bazooka and backpack mistake: tried on bazooka to put the decal without gloss clear.. the result:

at the end the contruction of this kit was very fun so i decided in future to do the civil version mod of this great kit.

hope you enjoy or critics on this work
