The Origin line of HG kits are my favorite.

This kit was a blast to build and offers great options as far as customization goes. You can build the unit as either Mash or Gaia, or you can do what I did and use some of the spare pieces to make it your own. This can be enhanced even further if you buy the sheet of water slide decals. The regular decals included in the kit are fine on their own, but the water slides open up much more options for customization and come with more decals than needed in case you make mistakes or want to add even more detail. My only complaint with it is the hoses. In typical Zaku fashion, they seemed a little flimsy. I had to cut off a small piece of the peg that holds the leg hoses in place to make it fit. You cant see it so I guess not that big of a deal, just a pain in the butt. Overall I highly reccommend this kit, especially if you have a light grey panel liner to make the dark colors pop.

This one is amazing. Much better articulation and detail than the HGUC Zaku IIs. The big Anti-ship rifle is excellent. Plus, enough spare parts to customize the Zaku II with just this kit.

Ordered 2 of these to do a proper Black Tri-Star ensemble. Origin quality is through the roof

Another great addition to your Zeon Army, Is this hg black Tri Stars version of the high Mobility type zakuII. This gunpla has great detail and gives gear to make it look like the mechs of two of the three tri stars! So if you want a zaku that sticks out and want to add more armaments to your orgin sets give this a try, it is a sweet hg thats worth every penny!
