Bandai Model Kit 1/2400 Zanzibar
Unleash the space naval might of the Principality of Zeon and conduct trans-atmospheric strategic operations with this exceptional model of the Zanzibar-class heavy cruiser. Based on the very first cult animated series from 1979, Mobile Suit Gundam, this scale model belongs to the classic range of 1/2400 precision scale collector's kits. Specially designed by Bandai for fans of Japanese culture, military space stories and retro Gunpla collectors, this kit brings to life the famous mobile assault ship developed to break the Earth Federation's blockade during the One Year War.
The streamlined, aerodynamic and purely industrial silhouette of this warship is distinguished by its fortified grey and beige hull, voluminous aft thrusters and geometric structural lines. Designed for both interstellar travel and direct incursions into the Earth's atmosphere, this heavy cruiser brings magnificent architectural variety to your collection. Thanks to Bandai's historic engineering, the parts fit together logically to provide a stable structure, ideal for structuring your collection and enriching your dioramas of elite space battles.
