The Mass Produciton MS-06F Zaku II from Mobile Suit Gundam gets made into a 1/144 Real Grade kit by Bandai. Prior to this the Crimson Zaku II of Char Aznable was already given the Real Grade treatment by Bandai. One feature of this Zaku II model kit is ability to build it as a commander/ace type with the addition of a larger antenna.

I was surprised when Bandai released for its 3rd model of the Real Grade line the Aile Strike Gundam of Kira Yamato from Gundam Seed. I was expecting the green cannon fodder Zaku II to be next in the real grade line after the release of the release of Char’s Zaku II.

Gunpla Sale once again announced at HobbyLink Japan. Sale will last till Feb 10 at 6PM JST. Based from what I’m seeing, discounts range from 30 ~ 70% off the retail price.

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.
