Kotobukiya 1/72 Zoids HMM RZ-041 Liger Zero Jager Markings Plus Ver.

$173.99 AUD
Kotobukiya's speed-focused CAS variant of the Liger Zero, in navy blue with the Strike Laser Claw and adjustable booster array. HMM engineering throughout, with articulated legs, tail and jaw, and the Markings Plus water slide decals for a sharper finish than the standard sticker sheet. Some CAS armour joints run tight on first assembly and settle once everything's together, and a touch of cement on a couple of frame joints keeps the pose solid long term.
From $10

Key features
  1. Jager CAS speed configuration: navy blue armour and an adjustable booster array built for aerial pursuit, distinct from the Schneider's close combat blades and the Panzer's heavy artillery.
  2. Markings Plus water slide decals: a full water slide decal sheet layers in over the standard stickers, for sharper panel markings than the original release carried.
  3. Adjustable booster, wings and thrusters: the rear booster swings horizontally and vertically, and the wings and side thrusters deploy for full attack-mode display.

Assembly Guide FAQ

Kotobukiya 1/72 Zoids HMM RZ-041 Liger Zero Jager Markings Plus Ver.

Liger Zero's speed specialist

Where the Schneider goes in with blades and the Panzer sits back with heavy guns, the Jager is Liger Zero's velocity build. Kotobukiya's HMM RZ-041 Liger Zero Jager Marking Plus Ver. swaps the base Zoid's armour for a navy blue Changing Armor System (CAS) shell built around a bigger booster array, adjustable wings and side thrusters, built for speed and aerial pursuit rather than a straight fight.

This is the Marking Plus reissue, which means a full sheet of water slide decals on top of the usual stickers, for builders who want the sharper panel markings without hunting down the original 2019 release.

Build difficulty

Kotobukiya rates this one intermediate to advanced, and it holds up: HMM snap-fit engineering across a full articulated inner frame, then the CAS armour, booster assembly and Strike Laser Claw on top. Budget somewhere in the 6 to 10 hour range across a few sessions rather than a single evening, especially if you're doing the water slide decals properly. Builders who've worked through a Bandai MG or a complex HG will find the part count and joint count roughly comparable. First-time builders can manage it, just don't expect a quick snap-together build.

Technical highlights

The inner frame carries full articulation through the legs, tail, jaw and head, and the Jager CAS armour is built to come on and off so the base Liger Zero underneath stays usable with other CAS sets. The signature piece is the rear booster ion, which swings both horizontally and vertically, backed up by adjustable back and hind leg wings and side thrusters that expand out for an attack-mode display. The Strike Laser Claw poses in attack position. Colour separation comes through the moulded navy blue, white and black plastic, no paint required for a clean result, and the Markings Plus water slide decals add the panel-level detail and unit markings a sticker sheet alone doesn't get close to.

What makes this kit special

  • Jager CAS speed configuration: Navy blue armour and an adjustable booster array built for aerial pursuit, distinct from the Schneider's close combat blades and the Panzer's heavy artillery.
  • Markings Plus water slide decals: A full water slide decal sheet layers in on top of the standard stickers, for sharper panel markings than the original release carried.
  • Adjustable booster ion: The large rear booster swings both horizontally and vertically for a genuine range of dynamic poses.
  • Deployable wings and thrusters: Back and hind leg wings plus side thrusters expand out for full attack-mode display.
  • Strike Laser Claw: Liger Zero's signature weapon, posable in attack position.
  • Swappable CAS armour: Built to come off the base Liger Zero frame cleanly, so it stays compatible with other CAS sets if you're building out the line.
  • HMM engineering: Kotobukiya's High-End Master Model line, with the surface detail and panel lines that come with it.

What to watch for

This exact Jager configuration doesn't have a deep well of independent English-language build reviews to draw on, so take the following as shared-frame feedback rather than Jager-specific testing.

The Jager sits on the same base Liger Zero inner frame as the Schneider, Panzer and other CAS variants, and two independent build reviews of that base frame flag the same pattern: the joints holding the CAS armour on run tight enough that parts can pop off mid-assembly if you're not expecting it, then settle down once the whole thing is together. One of those reviews also notes the main body can develop gaps or sag over time at a couple of specific frame joints unless they're cemented during the build, a step that's easy to miss because the instruction icons for it are small.

Builder Tips: dry-fit the CAS armour before committing, and run a light bead of plastic cement on the torso joints the manual calls out rather than relying on friction fit alone. Take it slow through the booster and wing assembly, since that's where most of the kit's poseability comes from. A display stand is worth having on hand for the more dynamic attack poses, since the booster and wing array adds weight up high.

Build notes

Snap-fit assembly, no paint required for a presentable result out of the box, though a hobby knife and a set of nippers will make clean-up easier. Keep a small tube of plastic cement handy for the joints noted above. The water slide decals need water and a soft cloth to apply, and a decal setting solution helps them sit down over the panel lines. Budget 6 to 10 hours across a few sessions rather than trying to finish it in one sitting. Small parts throughout, not suitable for young children.

Assembly Guide

Skill Level.3. Basic modeling skills are essential. These kits are not recommended for beginners or children due to the high level of complexity of assembly and the sheer volume of parts. Experience in building more complex Gunpla models is recommended. Parental supervision is essential. A full set of hobby tools is recommended that includes, nippers, hobby knives, sandpaper, sanding sticks, files, buffing files, glues, tweezers, and decal adhesive/softener. 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.
