This is the HGUC 1/144th scale Hi-Zack, in Federation Colors, model from Zeta Gundam. Its a recolor of the 12th HGUC ever made, so don’t expect much more from this kit. Its not the best HGUC kit I’ve seen, but it has its perks. Still, they could’ve at least included additional weapons that the Hi-Zack could use. Theres only some stickers added to this (other than the recolor). However, another problem I’ve run into is its little cables running all over it. The color they are molded in isn’t eh most appealing either (dead dandelion yellow) so some painting could be used for those too. The backpack “gimmicks” don’t seem to stay together too well either. The flaps around the boosters fall out and the two “wing” things sticking up on either side of the backpack aren’t sturdy either. The left hand cannot grip the gun handle as shown on the front of the box. The gun is its only weapon, so I was a bit dissapointed with that fact. Articulation isn’t bad, but theres no “double-joint” action going on with this kit. The ankle articulation is nice, though. Straight out of the box, I personally think its the worst HGUC I’ve built. The only thing its really good for is posing next to your Asshimar HGUC. I’m convinced to this day that this kit was simply “Filler” between the Asshimar and the Hazel Custom.
