Review: MS-05B Zaku1 Master Grade

Hooray! My first real model review today!

The MS-05B Zaku-one, Principality of Zeon Ramba Ral's customize mobile suit! Okay well first off. I have NO idea what this series this Mobile Suit is from or who Ramba Ral is. I'm only judging this for it's looks and the Kit itself. Although this may not be the most helpful review this was my first master grade and i'll be posting allot of pictures with it.


The finished Zaku! XD This thing is pretty odd looking at first, but i'm strangely gotten attached to the design.


Here's the head and chest of the Mobile Suit. Sorry for the bad quality!


The top of the head open with the mechanics revealed. (Which i think is friggin' awesome!) Unfortunately though the red Eye thing is supposed to move around by using a tab on the back of the head. However i tried several times to assemble it, it never worked right. Even when i followed the Instructions exactly.




Here's the MS with the Head hatch open and the chest open, revealing the mechanics and the tiny figure inside :3


And here's just some random posses I made using the different weapons. The Axe thing, Both of the Rifles and the Bazooka!








The Ramba Ral Figurine unpainted that came with the Kit, i doubt i'll ever paint it XD


This is the second thing about the Kit that bugs me,  The colors of the Thumb and Index finger are light blue, while the rest of the three fingers are Grey. For some reason this reaaally bugged me, i mean, the fingers should be the same color shouldn't they? O,o In the anime are they supposed to be like that? I dunno but it didn't make meh a happy Avin. 


........ Ya know what? it was 4 AM when i was takin' the pics >W> So shut up.

Well now for some final thoughts. This thing is pretty cool and I'm glad it was my first Master Grade BUT it has a few flaws. The fact that the eye in the head thing worked so poorly was disappointing and so was the strange colored Thumb and Index finger. 

But the positives are it's very nicely detailed right out of the box, the stickers and decals worked nicely, and it was a fun model to build!

All in all i think i'll give this a score (not that it needs one, i'll probably stop doing scores XD) A 8 out of 10,
