1/144 HG MS-05 Zaku I — Gundam Thunderbolt version

The HG 1/144 MS-05 Zaku I (Gundam Thunderbolt Ver.) models an early Zaku-type mobile suit within the Universal Century setting. Within the Gundam Thunderbolt context this MS-05 is shown as an early Zeon production frame from the One Year War, and the kit captures that role through a compact silhouette, accurate proportions for the scale, and High Grade engineering that emphasizes modular part separation and usability. The result is a neat representation of an early Zaku suited to display or modest custom work.
