Released this month is the iconic MS-06S Zaku II of Char Aznable as a 1/144 Real Grade model kit. This makes it the second model kit released under the Real Grade line of Bandai. Prior to this was the release of the first ever Real Grade kit, the RX-78-2 Gundam.

This build is turning out to be a diary of my failures. Well, not really my failures, but of the materials I’m using for this build. I settled in for a weekday of painting after spending the evening yesterday sanding down the parts of the 1/100 GN-007 Gundam Arios to get rid of the paint burrs. For a history of this build and the problems faced, kindly check out the previous post of this build, here.
