High fidelity Real Grade take on Robert Gilliam's Zaku II

The RG 1/144 MS-06R-2 Zaku II associated with Robert Gilliam captures the Real Grade focus on scale realism and engineering. The kit balances detailed exterior panels with a compact internal frame so builders can recreate the anime silhouette faithfully.

Frame Design and Movement Range

With a layered frame and precise joint architecture, this model achieves a wide range of motion while maintaining balance. Parts slot together well, minimising the need for extensive cleanup.

Recommended Experience and Workshop Essentials

This build suits modellers who have completed a few kits. Useful tools are flush cutters, a hobby knife for trimming and fine-grit sanding tools for smoothing connections.

Tips for Weathering and Surface Work

Even with solid color separation, subtle panel lining and selective weathering will enhance realism. Use a finishing coat to protect paint and decals during handling.

This Robert Gilliam's Zaku II RG kit suits builders looking for a model that merges classic design with modern build engineering.
