Bandai 1/144 HG Gunner Zaku Warrior

ZAFT's ranged Zaku, with the folding Orthros beam cannon

The Gunner Zaku Warrior is the long-range variant of ZAFT's mass-production Zaku Warrior from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. This is the standard moss-green production version, defined by the huge Orthros beam cannon slung over the shoulder. It's a compact, affordable HG that packs a lot of character.

Build difficulty

This is a Skill Level 2 build on the Mecha Express scale. Snap-fit, no glue and no paint required. The kit uses multi-colour moulding to reach the setting colours straight from the box, so it's an approachable and quick build, a good pick for a newer builder or an easy shelf-filler.

Technical highlights

The headline is the Orthros, the oversized twin beam cannon that mounts on the shoulder and folds down along the back for transport. A lead wire runs from the backpack to the cannon for the power cable, and the mono-eye and standard Zaku joints give it the articulation to aim and pose. Four-colour moulding reproduces the ZAFT green scheme, with stickers filling the finer markings.

What makes this kit special

  • Folding Orthros beam cannon. The signature oversized shoulder cannon folds down for a transport configuration.
  • Lead-wire power cable. A bendable wire cable runs from the backpack to the cannon.
  • Four-colour moulding. The ZAFT green scheme is reproduced in the plastic, no paint needed.
  • Full ranged loadout. Beam assault rifle and shield alongside the Orthros cannon.
  • Snap-fit construction. No glue or paint required to reach a presentable finish.

What to watch for

The generic HG Gunner Zaku Warrior is an older 2005 mould with limited dedicated review coverage. The notes below are honest general guidance for a kit of its era rather than a list of reported faults.

  • It's an older 2005 kit. Articulation and colour separation are more modest than a current HG, and it leans on stickers for detail. It still builds into a sharp representation of the suit.
  • The Orthros is large. The oversized shoulder cannon carries some weight, so seat the mount firmly for stable poses.

Build notes

No glue required, this is a snap-fit kit. A basic Gunpla tool kit (sharp side cutters or nippers, a hobby knife for clean-up and a panel line marker) is recommended though not essential. Recommended age 8 and over. No batteries required.

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.
No Cement Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

No Painting Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it good for a beginner?

Yes. It's a snap-fit kit with multi-colour moulding, so it's beginner-friendly and comes together quickly without glue or paint. The clear instructions make it a good early build.

Does it need paint or glue?

No. It's a snap-fit kit and uses four-colour moulding to reach the ZAFT green scheme straight from the box, with stickers for the finer markings. Painting is optional.

How poseable is it?

It has the standard Zaku articulation at the shoulders, elbows, hips, knees and ankles, plenty for aiming the Orthros cannon and holding ranged poses. It's a 2005 mould, so it's a touch more modest than a current HG.

How big is the built kit?

The completed 1/144 kit stands roughly 12 cm to the top of the head, and taller with the Orthros cannon raised. It's a compact shelf piece.

What weapons does it come with?

The large folding Orthros beam cannon, a beam assault rifle and a shield, plus a lead wire for the backpack power cable.

Amazing Build, my Grandson loved it!

Awesome kit, great extras. Only criticism is that the kit comes with a base so you don't need the second one. The kit also doesn't have the ability to take the blue LED bonus so if you don't have another use for it it is wasted. Luckily, I'm a Gundam tragic so will always have uses for extra bases and lighting kits.

Excellent service and fast delivery

I purchased on 6 Jan and my order arrived on 13 Jan. It was very well packed, with both boxes in excellent condition. Cam even provided a small free gift in the box! Overall purchasing experience was smooth and hassle-free. I haven’t had the chance to build the kit yet, but based on the service and care taken with shipping, I would happily purchase from this store if there are other Space Battleship Yamato models available.

Very rare with fair price

If you were one of the lucky ones that were able to travel to Sydney Gundam Base pop-up in 2025 and queued extremely early (like the first 40 or so) on the first day, probably you were able to grab one of these. Otherwise, the only alternative I would know of is traveling to Japan and being uber lucky of having it still being sold at Gundam bases. Otherwise, it's a second-hand market, and prices will go up. That said, the price was fair, I think it would be similar price as using a dropship service from Japan, with the exception that it's much faster and way more guaranteed you will get proper merchandise. So, Mecha Express, Cam, thank you so much for your store!
