Hg 1/144 Zeta Gundam

He came in late because of the weather but arrived just when he was needed the most

When I saw the Zeta Gundam make its debut, I immediately knew that I want that model. Guess the shows were doing what they were made for. Now, the build is interesting, and your miles may vary between the build or transforming the model to the Wave Rider. Putting it together, it wasn’t too hard, really the only hard part is the stickers, there are small stickers that go into the arms, shoulders, and other parts of the model and weapons. What I have heard, and not in a rush to do, is the transformation, from what I understand, the transformation isn’t sturdy, but as soon as I do that, I’ll update the review. Overall, I’m glad I built it, looks really good, and it’s fun, just take your time with the stickers and you’re all set

An excellent Gunpla kit, and one favorite Mobile suits. Not a difficult kit to build but also not something I would recommend for a beginner. I found the majority of the stickers to be useless, for the exception of the front and back head camera and rifle one's. A great choice for anyone who enjoys painting details. The kit has good articulation and can be set in several different poses, and it fully transfoms into Wave Rider Mode. The Decals in the pictures are Not included.

Kit came faster then expected witch is great and everything is accounted for, but shipped in the amazon bag not a box. Box/art is banged up but still in one piece.

We bought this for my nephew who is an avid model builder. Easy but fun assembly and good quality with attention to detail. Excellent value for the money if you like building gundams

I think the figure and weapons on their own are really hecking cool and I love the design of the zeta. I ran into little to no issues building it minus the head being a little loose (may be my own fault) But it’s difficult to pose without an action base. That’s entirely because the feet are not completely flat, having a heel shape, the surf module on the back being a heavy piece of plastic and the large cannon being…another large piece of plastic. This effectively had me leaving him on his back for a while because I was too lazy to buy an action base in order to properly pose him. I also felt like the cannon he has is near impossible to get JUST right, you kind of have to twist his should all the way up so you can have him properly hold it but it’s so heavy that his arms slowly fall down over time. If you’re buying this then buy an action base with it. I saw another reviewer saying NOT to buy this as a first gunpla and I’d agree but if this is your first gunpla buy an action base with it and be very very careful when putting it together.

The zeta hg has remained the same for a while but this version is closer to the ver ka in appearance. It’s a great kit if you love the look and out of the box the colors are mostly there. Feel free to panel line if you are super picky though. Transformation is not the same as the ver ka as this one requires a different base and mostly reattach the limbs in a different manner. But otherwise the waverider mode is pretty spot on. Overall can’t beat it for the price

Was purchased as a gift and recipient said it was perfect.

I like Zeta Gundam, but this model is unfortunately a waste. It can't stand on its own because the wings on the back are too heavy, so an action base is required. The bigger problem is that the joints connecting the arms to the body are weak. The one on the left one broke without much force. Now, the whole thing is worthless. I started getting interested in Gunpla recently, but this miserable piece of trash has turned me off this expensive hobby, maybe for good. $35 for nothing...

I've not built too many Gunpla, but this one stands out as being pretty finicky and frustrating, apparently the model is has some experimental parts, and it shows, the torso can be an absolute nightmare because of this. One of the accessories being the canon is pretty odd and doesn't really look good in any position because of how you have to position the arms for it to hold it, the hip joint is pretty loose and has a tendency to come off if moves at all, and the antenna piece tends to fall off without any kind of interference, but that might just be exclusive to my model in particular. Despite its issues it looks great and will usually stand just fine, it's certainly not HG Barbatos annoying, but it's also not as stable as I'd like, if you like Zeta, I can definitely recommend it, just with an asterisk

Good kit - would recommend to intermediate builders as it has some missing colour apps (lots of stickers). Articulation is above average where tolerances can vary. Be careful when moving shoulder joints these are extremely tight and could be prone to breakage / stressing the plastic. All-in-all, it was good value.

Excelente kit
