Yeah, the PG Zaku's are nice kits. As nice as any of the other PG's.

BUT - I think the PG Zaku was the first PG so all the instructions, even the screw identifications etc are in Kanji. The newer PG's are all A B C, etc, but the Zaku can be fun trying to decipher which screws are which.

And the wiring and battery box design for the head lamp are hokey as hell, so either plan on re-wiring them, or just leaving them out.

Other than that, I love my PG Zaku.

I bought one several months ago but it's at the end of the 'to be built' queue.. anyone who's painted theirs, what are the closest shades of green you can get in an acrylic Tamiya or Gunze Sanyo paint?

Tamiya has soem spray paints that look like they would work pretty good on the Zaku. Thay have a nice olive drab and a metallic green that would look good I think.

Opps I'm still thinking F model which is what I wanted.

Tamiya's metallic red would look good, and for the second tone for the torso thay should have one that would match up pretty good.

Gottta have some kind of metallic.

You should try wiring the Zeta's wings. Now that was a pain in the butt.

yea buying a model that is already put together is no fun, though for $50.00 that is a incredible price. yea the PG Eva sucks it is not very posable, the rubber parts over the armor stop it from being really movable and the rib armor breaks off real easy if you are not careful

Only PG's I've made is the Zeta, and the PG Eva.

Nice detail on the eva itself, but the rubber suit was a complete pain in the butt to get on right, and it wasn't that posable. The weapons pissed me off too, as they were all off color, solid color, and you had to cement hands around them, hence my leaving it in open handed angry pose. It was ok for display until I got the chogokin Unit 01, then the PG got put away in the closet.

Sold it on ebay a while ago, alone with most of the Kaiyodo's (except the hard core ver unit 01, the unit-03, and unit-05). The chogokins rule.

I didn't find the Zeta that hard really, just took forever to do. Complex as hell with the transformation mechanisms, but the only thing I found actually difficult was getting the wiring right, which had very loose connections. Not very secure at all. Other than that an astounding kit. The only reason I got it though was because I found it for 135. Now it's my centerpiece.
