Build overview for the MG 1/100 Riko's Zaku

The MG 1/100 Riko's Zaku by Bandai is a detailed Master Grade kit aimed at seasoned modellers. It delivers a multilayered assembly that rewards careful work and planning, offering realistic mechanical detail and part separation that benefit paint and finishing techniques.

Fit, engineering and assembly notes

Experienced builders will appreciate the tight tolerances and engineered joints on this Riko's Zaku. Parts align well and reduce the need for heavy modification, letting you concentrate on panel lining, seam removal and paint preparation to get clean results.

Options for paint and weathering

This kit gives plenty of scope for colour experiments and battle finishes. The included decal sheet helps add detail, while the plastic surface takes primers, acrylics and enamel washes well for a realistic, worn appearance.

Articulation, posing and display

Once complete, Riko's Zaku offers robust articulation for dynamic stances and diorama work. The joint design provides stability for posed displays, making it suitable for both shelf presentation and action scenes.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/100
  • Grade: Master Grade
  • Build Level: Advanced

The MG 1/100 Riko's Zaku is a satisfying build for experienced hobbyists, combining precise engineering with strong customisation potential for a standout display model.

Build time varies with skill and finish level. Expect several sessions for straight assembly; add extra hours for painting, masking and weathering. Plan your work across weekends for the best outcome.
Essential tools include sharp nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks, fine files, panel line pens and a good set of brushes or an airbrush. A primer and masking tape also make a big difference for clean paint lines.
Use a gloss coat before applying decals to prevent silvering, then seal with matte or satin varnish before adding weathering. Proper sealing keeps decals intact through washes and drybrushing.
Use small clear stands or add a magnetic base for balance on heavier poses. Tighten or tweak joints with gentle bending where needed, and avoid overstressing parts when swapping limbs for dynamic layouts.
