HGUC 1/144 #64 Zaku I
Product Info
About the Mobile Suit:
The MS-05B Zaku I is the first mass-produced mobile suit used by the Principality of Zeon in the Universal Century timeline, particularly during the One Year War. As an early mobile suit, the Zaku I was initially deployed as a frontline unit but was soon replaced by the more advanced Zaku II. However, due to its reliability, the Zaku I continued to serve in various support roles, such as logistics, training, and even combat in some cases. While less advanced than its successors, the Zaku I's simple design and ease of maintenance made it a staple in the Zeon military.
Armed with basic weaponry like the Zaku Machine Gun, bazooka, and heat hawk, the Zaku I is more lightweight and maneuverable than later models. Its rugged design and battlefield versatility, combined with its role as the first of Zeon’s mobile suits, make it an iconic piece of mobile suit history in the Gundam franchise.
