Bandai 06829 - 1/144 Zaku Mariner HG Model Kit Coastal Assault Edition  [B-06829]

Introducing the HG 1/144 Zaku Mariner model kit

The 1/144 Zaku Mariner High Grade kit faithfully models the amphibious machine from Mobile Suit ZZ Gundam, showcasing clear part separation and purpose-built underwater fittings. It brings a distinct aesthetic that suits themed displays and dioramas.

Picturing poses and part accuracy

Designed with articulated joints that support lively poses, the kit maintains stable construction for display. The sculpt mirrors the aquatic role, with accurate backpacks and armaments intended for marine operations.

Assembly tips and tool checklist

Considered a moderate build, the kit rewards careful assembly. Recommended items include side cutters, a precision knife and sanding sticks to remove nub marks and tidy joins before finishing.

Surface treatment and decal work

For a cleaner finish, sand panel lines lightly and use panel lining to enhance depth. Apply the included decals and finish with a varnish to protect the paint and unify the model's presentation.

The HG 1/144 Zaku Mariner is a satisfying project for modellers seeking an amphibious mobile suit with neat articulation and display potential.
