Overview of the MG 1/100 Riko's Zaku kit

The Bandai MG 1/100 Riko's Zaku is a Master Grade release that emphasises component detail and articulation. It is designed for builders who enjoy precise construction and want a model that responds well to bespoke paintwork and finishing techniques.

Construction characteristics to expect

This Riko's Zaku features engineered sub-assemblies and snug part fit that minimise gap-filling. The moulded detail makes panel lining effective, and the kit holds up well to light modifications for enhanced realism.

Creative finishing and decal use

There is plenty of scope for unique colour schemes and layered weathering. The decal sheet included gives extra markings to enhance realism, and the plastic accepts primers and multiple paint types for varied finishes.

Poseability and presentation

With its well-designed joints, Riko's Zaku supports a wide range of poses and stable displays. The balance between mobility and sturdiness makes it suitable for both static showcases and posed dioramas.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/100
  • Grade: Master Grade
  • Build Level: Advanced

For builders comfortable with Master Grade complexity, the MG 1/100 Riko's Zaku is a rewarding project that offers high-detail results and flexible customisation.

Acrylics and lacquers both perform well after priming. Acrylics are easier to clean and safe for most workshops, while lacquers give a harder finish for heavy weathering. Test on spare parts first.
Panel line before the final topcoat. Use a gloss or semi-gloss sealer to protect decals and linework, then finish with your chosen matte or satin topcoat to unify the surface.
Consider subtle scribing for extra panel lines, metal detailing on thrusters, and selective chipping with sponge technique. Small styrene plates can simulate added armour or repairs.
