Bandai 157729 - 1/35 Jumbo Grade Char's Zaku Anniversary Edition  [B-157729]

Jumbo Grade Char's Zaku for serious collectors

The Bandai 157729 - 1/35 Jumbo Grade Char's Zaku celebrates the 30th anniversary of the original Mobile Suit Gundam with a focus on scale and presence. The kit recreates Char Aznable's distinctive Zaku silhouette in a size that works well on display shelves and dioramas.

Articulation and faithful detailing

This Jumbo Grade release emphasises a broad range of motion while keeping poses stable, thanks to well-engineered joints. The layered armor panels and visible inner frame sections are modelled to echo the on-screen appearance, letting you pose Char with authentic posture and stance.

Assembly guidance and suggested tools

Assembly is approachable for modelers with some experience. Keep side cutters, a precision hobby knife, and sanding sticks on hand to remove runners cleanly and tidy seamlines for a professional finish.

Surface preparation, painting and finishing tips

Minimal prep is acceptable for shelf display, but light sanding, panel lining and careful decal application will sharpen the kit's details. A clear topcoat helps protect decals and gives a consistent sheen across the large surfaces.

This 1/35 Jumbo Grade Char's Zaku is a standout model for anyone wanting a large, articulated representation of one of Gundam's most recognisable suits. It balances display impact with buildable detail.
