Bandai 5057394 - 1/144 Zaku I Sniper Type HGUC Model Kit - Sniper Variant Collector Edition  [B-5057394]

Introducing the 1/144 Zaku I Sniper Type HGUC Build

The Bandai 1/144 Zaku I Sniper Type HGUC presents a faithful miniature of the Zeon marksman unit, engineered for clear silhouette and realistic proportions. This High Grade kit focuses on articulation that supports staged sniper positions while remaining accessible to hobbyists.

Pose Range and Surface Detail

Designed within the HGUC framework, the Sniper Type delivers practical joint movement for stable aiming poses. The part layout and separations allow for tidy colour separation and make it easier to add washes or panel lines without heavy rework.

Skill Level and Recommended Gear

Classed as a moderate build, the kit is best tackled by someone with basic kit experience. Essential tools include nippers, a sharp hobby blade, and sanding pads to clean runner marks and improve fit.

Painting Workflow and Weathering Advice

For a more realistic finish, sand seams lightly and apply panel wash to reveal recessed details. Small decals enhance authenticity and a clear coat will seal work in while reducing handling wear.

The Bandai 5057394 - 1/144 Zaku I Sniper Type HGUC Model Kit is a compact yet satisfying project for modellers who want a classic Zeon sniper with modern joint engineering.
