1/144 Z Type Zaku

From BANDAI HOBBY, experience a unique piece of Zeon engineering with the 1/144 Z Type Zaku model kit, originating from the Mobile Suit Gundam: Mobile Suit Variations (MSV) series. This distinct mobile suit represents a pivotal, albeit experimental, development in the Principality of Zeon's pursuit of Newtype weaponry.

The Z Type Zaku, officially designated as the MS-06Z Psycommu Test Type Zaku II, was a crucial testbed for the psycommu system, directly influencing the development of the iconic MSN-02 Zeong. Its design deviates significantly from standard Zaku forms, featuring specialized wire-guided forearms equipped with beam cannons in each finger. This innovative armament allowed for all-range attacks, a precursor to later Newtype-specific mobile suits. Despite its advanced capabilities, the Z Type Zaku was plagued by high energy consumption, limiting its operational time.

This model kit allows enthusiasts to build and display a significant, albeit lesser-known, variant of the Zaku lineage, showcasing the experimental nature of early Universal Century mobile suit development.

Included in this kit:

• Parts to construct the 1/144 Z Type Zaku
• Wire-guided forearms with integrated finger beam cannons

Specifications:

• Scale: 1/144
