Bandai Gundam Gunpla
Zaku II Char Aznable Red Comet Version (1/144)
This High Grade 1/144 Zaku II in Char Aznable’s Red Comet colours brings one of the most recognisable mobile suits in the Gundam Gunpla range to life. The design stays true to the classic Zeon aesthetic, with its distinctive mono-eye and curved armour shapes, while the red colour scheme immediately sets it apart as Char’s personal unit. The kit is moulded in colour and engineered for snap-fit assembly, allowing for a straightforward build without glue.
Once assembled, the Zaku II offers a solid level of articulation, making it easy to pose with its included weapons. The updated markings and emblems, including those for the Falmer Corps, add extra detail to the finished model. It works well as a display piece straight from the box, but also provides a strong base for further painting and weathering if you want to enhance the final look. It’s one of those kits that balances simplicity with character.

History:
The MS-06S Zaku II is one of the most iconic mobile suits from the original Mobile Suit Gundam series, particularly in its use by Char Aznable, known as the Red Comet. His custom-painted version became famous for its speed and battlefield performance, often outmatching standard units. The Zaku II itself was a mass-produced mobile suit used by the Principality of Zeon during the One Year War, forming the backbone of its forces. Char’s personal unit elevated the design into legend, making it one of the most recognisable machines in the Gundam universe and a staple subject in Gunpla form.
