Why Does Char's Zaku (GQ) Belong in Your Collection?

The Red Comet's Legacy Lives On This isn't just another Zaku II - it's Char Aznable's machine. The mobile suit that made "three times faster" part of Gundam vocabulary, that turned red into the colour of ace pilots, that defined what it means to be legendary. When you build Char's Zaku, you're not assembling plastic - you're bringing decades of Gundam history to your shelf. Every collector knows the Red Comet, and this is your chance to own his most iconic machine reimagined for the GQuuuuuuX universe.

A Fresh Take on an Untouchable Classic You probably already own a Char's Zaku. Maybe several. But the GQ redesign gives you something genuinely new - modern engineering meets stylized GQuuuuuuX aesthetics while respecting everything that made the original legendary. This is how you expand your Char collection without redundancy. Display it alongside your classic versions and watch how the GQ treatment transforms a familiar silhouette into something that demands a second look. It's the variant that proves iconic designs can evolve without losing their soul.

That Unmistakable Crimson Finish The moment someone sees red on a Zaku, they know. That colour carries weight - it's Char, it's speed, it's ace pilot prestige. The pre-colored parts deliver that legendary red straight from the box, no custom painting required. This is the finish that makes people stop scrolling, that catches eyes across a room, that instantly communicates "this mobile suit is different." When you display Char's Zaku (GQ), that red tells the whole story before anyone reads the nameplate.

Assembly Guide

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.

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.

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

What makes these Gunpla kits the hottest sellers?

These kits are fan favourites for their detailed design, affordability, and build size, offering a balanced and enjoyable building experience.

Are these hottest seller kits suitable for beginners?

Absolutely! Especially the HG kits, which are known for their fewer parts and simplicity, making them a great starting point for new builders.

What is the level of detail in the MG and RG hottest sellers?

MG kits boast a detailed inner frame and additional parts, while RG combines MG’s complexity with HG’s size for an intricate, compact build.

Can I get replacement parts if I lose some during the build?

Yes, if you buy a kit from Gundam Express Australia we will source replacement parts for you. This is not a quick process as parts need to come from Bandai in Japan.
