At 5:45 You'll want to have the inactive Heat Hawk pegged in, almost diagonally into the side skirt, not straight up and down like you were trying. This is for two reasons, so it doesn't interfere with the hoses, and for the "in universe" right hand being able to reach over and grab the handle of the Heat Hawk that is mounted on the left side of the Mobile Suit, like you would a sword in the sheath (only from a weapon read position).
+CrimsonRaptors Thanks for the tip! Honestly I don't like having it mounted on the skirt anyway, so I won't ever really bother with it more outside of doing the review. But if (when) we get another version of this kit I'll keep that in mind!
Thanks for the review. I managed to pick up the metallic version at the All Japan Model and Hobby Show in September. Had to ship it home surface mail so it should be here in a monthly or two. Your review has me excited.
Quality review, I'm glad to see the differences, as I already have the Gaia/Mash and wanted to see whether the Ortega is worth buying. Looks like just enough to take another 20 some dollars out of my pocket. Also, maybe you should do an entire lineup of your Zaku collection.
+Prominece I actually have that kit! It's already snapped up so I can't do an unboxing but I could do a review! If I have time I'll see what I can do! ;)
Awesome review! I liked your pacing. =) Great finishing shot at 12:20! Hey +ZakuAurelius, are you able to peg the Heat Hawk into the back skirt? Are you able to peg in the Ammo Drum into the side skirts? Do all The Origin Zaku II shields have the hardpoint pegholes for mounting the spare bazooka magazines?
+CrimsonRaptors I believe you can plug the heathawk into the back skirt but it's really tight, like it's not meant to be plugged there. Drill it out a bit and you'd be fine. Ammon into the side skirt I'm not sure, but again, should be an easy fix if you wanna do it. And yes all The Origin shields (so far) are the same and have the ports to hold bazooka ammo.
+Abdelrahman El Awny I'm not planning to do a normal review for that kit, because I'm going to be painting it as I build. Be patient! I'm trying to finish painting a couple other projects first, and my son was just born a couple weeks ago so I've been busy!
love how you emphasize on its seam lines. when I check out a kit review, all I wanna know is the seam line and how solid (or flimsy) the build is. not so keen on accessories, articulation and what not. Accessories are usually revealed in blogsites upon announcement way before any kit is released. Articulation, well it is a model kit, not a toy. It's not that we change the pose every day of the week Keep up the good work and please, put more emphasis on seam lines for all kit reviews in the future. Cheers
+Arif Fauzan Thanks for the feedback! Personally I think articulation isn't very important either. But for some people I guess they like to see that. Of course you can always mod everything, but some people want to see the limitations of the kit if they are maybe wanting to do a specific pose, ya know?
Arif Fauzan it pisses me off! People always say that he is nitpicking and being too particular! I want to know if it has any problems damn it! I love that he points out all the weak points. If he said he loved everything and that we should absolutely buy it every time then he would lose his credibility.
A lot of reviewers spend the majority of their videos spinning heads, shoulders, and arms around and talking about nearly 180 degree bends when we just want to know the pros and cons of the model and see what it actually looks like when built.
Cant wait to build mine the group shot looks epic but those seam line just as you pointed the do take away from the overall look on the kit i have never work on them my self for any kit and ill prob will start to do it with this one cause I'm going to paint i got the materials to do it I'm just a lil scared of messing up esp the arm ones looks a lil hard to pull off
It's difficult to try to get it to hold the axe straight for long periods of time. If you bump it the axe will flip over so the blade is pointing at the ground.

This was my first kit. And im glad it was a good one. Instantly hooked. 30 kits later and I'm only slowing down for my poor walet

Loved the group shot at the end.
+Theibault It's a beautiful sight!
+ZakuAurelius indeed it is.
12:09 the 2 seconds iconic scene
Just picked this one up today when I went paint shopping. Absolutely could not resist.
Thanks for the review. I managed to pick up the metallic version at the All Japan Model and Hobby Show in September. Had to ship it home surface mail so it should be here in a monthly or two. Your review has me excited.
This looks like an amazing kit !!! I would love to add this to my collection, the axe effect is pretty sweet also!!
i love this kit, one of my most recent favs. love me some good Zaku kits, mono eye is the only way.
Can I use other bandai stand to pose this kit?
They look great! Thank you 😊
you wouldnt wanna store your ammo on your shield ✌😁
mirage 2468 why not?
mirage 2468 Actually, yes you would. If it explodes it just damages the shield and not the MS itself.
@@muisverriet yeah but if it gets hit theres lots of wasted ammo.
It’s a win-lose
Basically a extra layer of explosive reactive armour, just at the cost of ammo, which it would be a good idea to retreat back to the mothership.
It’s always a good thing to bring a giant battleaxe to a gunfight
Love the giant heat axe.

Zach, is the sub machine gun from the RG compatible with the HG?
Which version of the Char Zaku is this?
Oh yeah, gotta see this.
if it's ok, please make a review on HG astraea type f
+Prominece I actually have that kit! It's already snapped up so I can't do an unboxing but I could do a review! If I have time I'll see what I can do! ;)
ZakuAurelius wow thanks! I'm very curious about this kit and they said it has so many excess parts included. I'll be looking forward for your review!!

ZakuAurelius I put the ammo on the side skirts so it would be more visible. It's loose so be careful not to lose it
Awsome collection ^^ do you have gouf prototype and mobile worker too?
+Yosafat Mario Adhitya Already reviewed the Gouf, and my Mobile Worker review will be coming this week!
does this kit have that armor on the right do they come in 2 or 1?
I love your reviews. When will you upload PG Banshee Norn review?
+Abdelrahman El Awny I'm not planning to do a normal review for that kit, because I'm going to be painting it as I build. Be patient! I'm trying to finish painting a couple other projects first, and my son was just born a couple weeks ago so I've been busy!
How to painting this kit? Because seam line making hard
Great review but I laughed when you suggested placing (explosive) ammo drum on the shoulder shield.
+Jae Young Hey man, that's how it's designed!
thats a big heat hawk axe O_O
Wonder what happens if that can smash defense focused MS?

we need more Master Grades!
I'd love to have a new gouf custom from 08th ms team. But I may get this in its stead after I finish up my newest arrival.

+Sol Boricua (gunplabuilder81) time to break out your seam-removal tools! Shouldn't be too much of a surprise on an HG though anyway.
+ZakuAurelius yea i was looking at your seam removal video its a great help im going to apply that to the build 👍
The seam lines on the arms would have been avoided if the square-ish thing on the lower arm was a separate piece that sandwiches the other two.
+Hiruma Berserker Exactly, it seems like it would have been really easy to avoid that seam. :/ But I dunno, I guess they had some reason.
ZakuAurelius Whatevs,some extra thin and seam line has been defeated.
I hope that they do a MSD Zaku II HMT Anavel Gato colors (Yes,it is real)
i wonder how the seam lines are on the older tri stars kit..
+Fpsdood You know it has the same seam on the forearm :(
It's difficult to try to get it to hold the axe straight for long periods of time. If you bump it the axe will flip over so the blade is pointing at the ground.
what does aurelius means?
Marcus Aurelius was a Roman emperor and famous stoic. I study stoicism and really admire him.
ZakuAurelius Maximus Decimus Meridius. Romans are awesome
So.. do i buy this kit three times for a proper tristars?
This and two of the Mash Version
SO MUCH WIN
SO MUCH FUCKING WIN
good style！
good model. you tend to get a bit long winded and repetative.
first! lol
