Assembling the HG 1/144 MS-06 Zaku GQ - Classic Gunpla Build

The HG 1/144 MS-06 Zaku GQ is a staple among Gunpla builders, delivering an approachable yet detailed construction experience for both newcomers and veteran hobbyists. The kit captures the Zaku silhouette with clean part separation and durable joints that make it satisfying to assemble.

Movement and visible detail

The Zaku GQ includes improved joint range that supports a variety of poses true to its on-screen role. Shoulder, elbow and knee connections are designed to move smoothly while keeping the kit stable for display. The separated armor and mono-eye allow detail to come through without mandatory paintwork.

Assembly level and handy tools

Assembly is straightforward with a moderate difficulty rating suited to most modelers. Useful basic tools include side cutters, a hobby knife and sanding sticks for tidy sprue removal and part fit refinement.

Prep, painting and finishing tips

For enhanced realism, light sanding, panel lining and careful decal placement add depth to the finished model. A clear topcoat seals decals and protects the plastic, though these steps are optional for builders who prefer out-of-the-box display.

This HG 1/144 MS-06 Zaku GQ balances detail and ease of build, making it a solid pick for display or diorama projects in any Gunpla lineup.
