Series Assembly Guide FAQ

Bandai HG 1/144 Zaku (GQ) - GQuuuuuuX Series

The Zaku (GQ), Zeon's mass-production workhorse in its GQuuuuuuX redesign

The Zaku (GQ) is the Principality of Zeon's standard mass-production mobile suit as seen in Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, with the bulky, rounded leg design that sets it apart from the Zakus you know. Bandai released this HG kit on 8 November 2025 with a newly sculpted Zaku Bazooka.

It is a kit for army builders, GQuuuuuuX fans, and anyone who likes a green Zaku on the shelf.

Build difficulty

Skill Level 2. Bandai rates it 8+, and it is a snap-fit High Grade with no glue needed. One detailed Japanese review describes it as polycap-less with tight joints, no hollowed-out soles, and easy to build straight from the box, and recommends it for beginners and straight-build fans. The one fiddly job is the stickers: the yellow and white foil lines go on curved shoulder armour and are harder to apply neatly.

Technical highlights

The shoulder blocks move independently, the mono-eye slides left and right using a rib on the underside of the head, and the upper arms and forearms roll separately. The right shoulder carries an L-shaped shield that moves, and the left shoulder has spiked armour. The sole has a 3mm hole for a display stand. Colour separation on the torso is good. The pink mono-eye and the Zeon marking on the torso are stickers. Horned parts are included as a swap option.

What makes this kit special

  • New Zaku Bazooka: a newly sculpted launcher whose grip pulls out so it can be held with both hands.
  • Zaku Machine Gun: drum magazine detail and a movable foregrip for a two-handed hold.
  • Heat Hawk: moulded as a single grey part.
  • Independent shoulder blocks: the shoulders move on their own for more dynamic poses.
  • Movable mono-eye: slides left and right.
  • GQuuuuuuX leg design: the bulky rounded legs give it a different silhouette from earlier Zakus.

What's in the box

  • Zaku (GQ) parts on moulded-colour runners (polycap-less)
  • Zaku Bazooka
  • Zaku Machine Gun
  • Heat Hawk
  • Hand parts
  • Horned parts (swap option)
  • Marking sticker sheet and foil sticker sheet
  • Instruction manual

The shield that comes with the Military Police Zaku is not included.

Compatible accessories

No display base is included. The sole has a 3mm stand hole, so it works with Bandai's Action Bases. In stock now: the Bandai Action Base 2 (made for 1/144 kits), the Bandai Action Base 1 (universal) and the compact Bandai Action Base 5. The Bandai Action Base 7 (Clear) GQuuuuuuX Sticker Set is a clear stand that comes with GQuuuuuuX stickers.

What to watch for

Drawing on one detailed Japanese review. English-language written coverage for this kit was thin when searched, so treat these as one reviewer's notes:

  • Leg movement is limited: the bulky thighs stop the legs moving as far as you might expect. Knees bend well and it kneels cleanly, but wide stances are restricted.
  • Waist front part can pop off: with a lot of posing the front waist part (near the white line) came loose. The reviewer suggests a dab of glue if it bothers you.
  • Stickers on curved armour: the yellow and white foil lines on the left shoulder are harder to apply neatly.
  • One open hand only: the kit includes an open palm for the left hand only.

Build notes

No glue or paint is required. Nippers are needed to remove parts from the runners. Recommended age: 8 and over.

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

How is it different from the Military Police Zaku?

It reuses recoloured runners from the HG Military Police Zaku in Zaku green, with changed shoulder and leg parts and a new Zaku Bazooka. The Military Police Zaku's shield is not included.

Is it good for first-time builders?

Bandai rates it 8+. It is snap-fit and polycap-less with no hollowed-out soles, and a detailed Japanese review recommends it for beginners and straight builds. The tricky part is applying the foil stickers neatly on the curved shoulder armour.

What weapons are included?

A newly sculpted Zaku Bazooka, a Zaku Machine Gun with drum magazine detail, and a Heat Hawk, plus hand parts. The Military Police Zaku's shield is not included.

How well does it pose?

The arms and knees move well, the shoulder blocks move independently and it kneels cleanly. The bulky thighs limit the legs, so wide stances are restricted.

Does it need paint or stickers?

No paint is needed for the main colours. The mono-eye is a pink sticker, and the Zeon marking and the yellow and white foil lines are stickers.

Amazing Build, my Grandson loved it!

I purchased this kit and one other for my grandsons birthday. He loved building it and found it easy to follow. My order arrived in super fast time and was beautifully packed. It even had some wonderful freebies in the box which was really great. Excellent product and service in every way!

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!
