Product Overview
The HGUC 1/144 MS-05B Zaku I Black Tri-Stars Version is a High Grade Universal Century model kit inspired by the legendary Black Tri-Stars team from the Universal Century timeline. Molded in the squad's distinctive dark blue and black color scheme, this variant of the classic Zaku I showcases the mobile suit used by Gaia, Ortega, and Mash during the early stages of the One Year War. The kit preserves the rugged mono-eye design and military styling of the original machine while adding unit-specific markings and colors.
The model features improved articulation including double-jointed elbows that support dynamic weapon poses and the iconic shoulder tackle stance associated with the Zaku I. A wide selection of weapons and equipment allows for multiple display options, while dedicated Black Tri-Stars marking stickers enable builders to recreate the appearance of each team member's unit. Its historical significance and classic Zeon design make it an excellent addition to any Universal Century collection.
