Why the Zaku (GQ) Deserves a Place in Your Collection.

The Foundation of Every Gundam Story Before there were ace pilots and hero units, there was the Zaku II. This is the mobile suit that defined what "enemy mecha" looks like - the green armour, the mono-eye, the utilitarian design that says "mass production workhorse." Every Federation pilot who ever climbed into a Gundam did it because Zakus were out there. When you build this kit, you're not just assembling another model - you're bringing home the foundation of the entire Gundam universe. The GQ redesign gives you a fresh take on this legendary design while respecting everything that made it iconic.

Army Building Without Breaking the Bank One Zaku is a model. Three Zakus is a squad. Five Zakus is a proper Zeon force that transforms your display from "collection" to "battlefield." The beauty of the Zaku has always been its army building potential - these are meant to be built in multiples, to create the kind of displays that make people stop and stare. Snap-fit construction means you can build them quickly, pre-colored parts mean they look great straight from the box, and the price point means you can actually afford to build the Zeon army you've always imagined. This is how dioramas are born.

The Perfect First Gunpla (Or Your Hundredth) There's a reason experienced builders keep coming back to Zakus - they're pure Gunpla joy. Simple enough that beginners build them with confidence, detailed enough that veterans appreciate the engineering. No glue, no paint required, just the satisfaction of watching that iconic silhouette take shape in your hands. Whether this is your first kit or you're a seasoned builder looking for a quick, satisfying build between complex projects, the Zaku (GQ) delivers exactly what you need. It's the kit that reminds you why you fell in love with Gunpla in the first place.

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 this different from a regular Zaku II kit?

This is the Zaku II reimagined for the GQuuuuuuX universe with the GQ redesign treatment. While it maintains the iconic Zaku silhouette and green colour scheme, it features stylized design elements and modern HG engineering unique to GQuuuuuuX. Think of it as the same legendary grunt suit, but filtered through a new series aesthetic.

Can I army build with this kit?

Sure Can! That's one of the best uses for it. The Zaku has always been the perfect army building kit, and the GQ version continues that tradition. At this price point and with snap-fit assembly, you can build multiple units to create squad displays or dioramas. Many collectors buy 3-5 to recreate proper Zeon forces.

Will this work with my other Zaku variants for scale comparison?

Yes, at 1/144 HG scale it matches perfectly with other HG Zaku kits. The GQ redesign makes it visually distinct enough to display alongside classic Zakus, showing the evolution of the design across different Gundam series. It's particularly striking next to Char's Zaku (GQ) to show the standard vs ace custom difference.

Does this include the classic Zaku machine gun?

Yes, at 1/144 HG scale it matches perfectly with other HG Zaku kits. The GQ redesign makes it visually distinct enough to display alongside classic Zakus, showing the evolution of the design across different Gundam series. It's particularly striking next to Char's Zaku (GQ) to show the standard vs ace custom difference.

Is this good for beginners or just experienced builders?

Perfect for beginners. The Zaku II has always been one of the best "first Gunpla" kits - simple enough to build confidently, detailed enough to be satisfying. The snap-fit construction requires no glue, the colour separation means no painting needed, and the straightforward design teaches you Gunpla fundamentals without overwhelming complexity.

Everything was well packed, arrived promptly, and came with a postcard and part separator as a welcome gift. Very impressed.

Pre-Order Bandai 1/100 MG Gundam Barbatos Lupus
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!
