HG Zaku II Char Aznable ver. The Origin English Manual & Color Guide

Char Aznable's iconic Zaku II from Mobile Suit Gundam the Origin released as a 1/144 High Grade model kit by Bandai. I'm usually wary of reinterpretations of mobile suit designs that I've grown accustomed with, but with this I have to say that I am impressed with it's treatment. Kinda like those Gundam Thunderbolt redesigns.

The 1/144 High Grade Zaku II of Char Aznable is selling for $ at Amazon.



Construction Manual & Color Guide 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 post.
