This is a double negative... So it means that it is a zaku..? Hooray! That means I didn't botch the title!
G'day folks,
Wanted to show off my most recent build, the HG:O Tri star zaku II. This is going to be my first painted gunpla kit, so it's going to have a learning curve to it. Bear with me folks! :P
Construction was quick, as I got the torso and head constructed and primed in under 45 minutes. With minimal time spent on this kit, I can already tell this is going to quickly become my favorite version of the Zaku, and my favorite kit out of the Hg lineup as well.
The only things I can't say I like about the kit are very minor and shouldn't be an issue, just nitpicking. Lol.
>I would have preferred the arm polycaps to rotate upwards instead of forwards as the left and right torso move inwards and have this covered fairly well.
>The monoeye is just a sticker that is applied to a rounded plastic peice in the head. I would have preferred an indintation for the eye sticker so that I could paint it instead, but it's a highgrade kit, what can you do?
Here are a few images of the primed kit as of yet. 
Gotta love that backpack's detail!
I painted the backpack jumpjets in Testor's magnesium Buffing metalizer, here's a picture with one painted and one not. I think you'll agree the painted one is better ten fold. After this I applied a wash to dirty them up a bit. Sorry, forgot to snap a few pictures for you.
I'll do an indepth review once I've got the kit fully assembled and painted, until then stay tuned.
Thanks for looking and stay safe out there!
