Bandai Hobby #10 Zeta Gundam Scale 1/144 Real Grade Figure

約5年前に購入していたものの、難しいという話をレビューで見ていましたので制作をすることに二の足を踏んでいました。 ただゼータガンダムは昔テレビでアニメを観ていた時からカッコいいガンダムであると思っていたので少しずつ時間をかけてゆっくりと制作する事にしました。 ものすごい幾何学的な数学の計算によってプラモデルの開発をバンダイがしている事を組み立てている最中からしきりに感心しながら作っていました。 完成した形もとても良く、大変でしたが楽しく作れましたし、満足する事ができ改めてバンダイの凄さに驚きました。

Highly detailed and complicated build, but not too terrible other than some extremely tiny stickers (fake screwheads on the elbow joints about the side of a bolded period in a newspaper.) This is my first non HG or SD Gundam kit, and I adore the way it builds off an internal (largely pre assembled!) skeleton, it feels a lot sturdier than the hollow plastic kits and looks great. I had some trouble attaching the chest to the back, wound up breaking a couple tabs, but it was an easy fix.Tip: the flat part of the bar the chest transformation hinge has slots into the back panel, the actual joints are on the sides of the bar thanks to the skeleton system it uses. Reviews warned me to be careful with the arms, so I'll pass that on as well. Too bad the flight stand I ordered isn't showing up for like another month.

I was on the fence for a while when it came to buying the RG Zeta Gundam, having heard that it had stability issues and that parts were prone to breaking, but after building it myself I can say I was pleasantly surprised. Like all RG kits the Zeta packs a ton of detail and gimmicks despite its small size. There’s no shortage of panel lines and the color separation is nice, and the gold stickers break up the abundance of blue and white. For gimmicks (aside from the Zeta’s selling point, the transformation), there’s the grenade launchers in the forearm, rockets on the shield’s underside, beam saber handles that can be mounted in the waist armor and double as cannons, and a removable energy cartridge for the beam rifle. The energy beams for the sabers can also be mounted to the rifle to act as a bayonet. As far as articulation stability goes, the RG Zeta performs surprisingly well, despite having a complete transformation gimmick. The elbows are double jointed and have a full bend, as do the knees. Due to the transformation into Wave Rider mode there are some stability issues in the upper body, and the chest and cockpit can come loose while you’re posing the model in its Gundam mode, but it’s not too difficult to get them back in place, and there’s some decent movement at the waist. The only places where the articulation is let down is the hips and shoulders, where movement is a little restricted. Extras include four beam sabers (two long, two short), grenade boxes for the forearm launchers, adapter for an action base, unpainted Kamille Bidan figure, landing gear for Wave Rider form, and extra hands. The only real downsides are some minor articulation restrictions and stability issues, but since the transformation is this kit's selling point this isn’t a problem. The transformation process is complicated, but it’s not too much of a hassle once you’ve managed to wrap your head around the instructions. As a warning, I’d recommend taking care when putting this together. Some parts of the advanced frame (B runner) are delicate and show stress marks easily. Thankfully I didn’t break any, but I’m sure plenty of others have. In short, it’s an incredible Real Grade kit and a must have for Zeta fans and RG fans alike.

Gunpla du Zeta Gundam de la série éponyme. Magnifique Mobile Suit de la gamme RG ( Real Grade ) à assembler. Reçu plus tôt que prévu. Merci beaucoup

Tolle Figur , sehr detailliert. Aufbau geht leicht und macht Spaß. Als Spielzeug für kleinere eher ungeeignet weil doch öfters was Abfällt ( mein Sohn ist 6 ) aber trotzdem gefällt ihm die Figur und es ist wirklich mal was besonderes
