HG Zaku II + Big Gun Set English Manual & Color Guide

Released a while back by Bandai was the Gundam Thunderbolt version of the Zaku II together with the Big Gun. This was released as a 1/144 High Grade model kit. I always loved the Gundam Thunderbolt versions released by Bandai, because for a High Grade, the level of detail is just astounding.

The 1/144 High Grade Zaku II + Big Gun Set Thunderbolt ver is selling for $29.54 at Amazon.




Construction Manual & Color Guide for the 1/144 HG Zaku II + Big Gun was translated to English from the Japanese manual posted at Dalong's Gunpla & Model Kit Review site. For the meaning of the symbols found in the model kit's manual, kindly refer to this old post.
