Step-by-step notes for the HG 1/144 Zaku Warrior build

The HG 1/144 Gunner Zaku Warrior remains a favourite among Gundam SEED builders. This kit combines reliable joint engineering with the series iconic armaments, making it enjoyable for both newcomers and seasoned modelers. Its clear silhouette and sound construction make it a solid display piece once finished.
