Bandai Hobby Gunpla High Grade Gundam G40 HG 1/144 MS-06S Char’s Zaku II (Industrial Design Ver.)
Directly inspired by the franchise’s historic anniversary celebrations, this legendary combat mecha combines the legacy of the saga with the modern vision of a renowned Japanese car designer. Clad in its iconic salmon-red and burgundy livery, this assault mecha piloted by the Red Comet, Char Aznable, features a unique structural reinterpretation. This exclusive model celebrates industrial aesthetics by transforming the robot’s classic lines into an aerodynamic and realistic silhouette, designed to become a major centrepiece in any Universal Century purist’s collection.
The external structure features a complete redesign of the armour panels to mimic the joints and flexibility of real industrial machinery. The internal skeleton of this range benefits from a high level of engineering, enabling torso twists and leg bends with a fluidity unprecedented for this scale. The perfect alignment of the pre-coloured parts offers a surface finish as sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, highlighting the movable single-lens eye and the clean structural lines. This exceptional kit brings a modern feel and striking dynamism to your display case, with all parts fitting together via a simple snap-fit mechanism without the need for any paint or glue.
