Birthday build! I’ve had the Zeta ver ka, done for a while now, but just haven’t had a good chance to take pictures of it! While I’m glad we finally got a new 1/100 Zeta Gundam after quite some time, the kit does seem to have minimal detail compared with what we tend to expect from ver ka kits. I did do some light scribing and color separation to add some flavor to the design which came out great!
After posing this kit in the photoshoot, I wasn’t very satisfied with the amount of times the body and shoulders were falling off the kit. This is probably thanks to the great transformation mechanic they implemented into the kit, so it wasn’t easy to get great shots of the kit. Id still recommend picking up the kit if you’re a fan of the zeta gundam series, but I’m really hoping that we get a new mkii Gundam sometime soon. Please Bandai!
