dun buy the rg zaku. its not really a good kit.

get the zaku II HG origins

this kit can be hard to find because its very popular. but you can find the 3rd party kit which is almost identical at taobao for 1/2 the price.

HLJ dot com
website in japan to buy things

action base $5-$7 over there
in sgd, cheapest from hobby shops normally cost around 12 to 15$

but have to buy alot la, cos the cheapest shipping cost around 12 to 20.

HG and RG both 1/144 scalings
but RG more complicated, more parts, and got inner frame

better is subjective ba
HG better in a sense: cheaper, faster to build, less chiiiim
RG better: more details, more colors,more parts

RG is very detailed grade. some people call them mini ver kas.

but some modern HGs are very good. The main thing about the origins zaku II is it has the high detailed panel lining of the RG Zaku. the Origins Zaku is also a more solid kit and not as brittle as the RG zaku.

you shd get the new HG Gouf. its a damn solid kit. the 3rd party one is a direct copy and just as solid.

copy ard $10 can easily find buy either STAR or WEI MEI brand. DO NOT BUY GAOGAO brand.

diecast macross they still make today. arguably they are better now but very pricey (150 - 400$)
