HG 1/144 MS-06D Zaku Desert Type (Pink Panther Forces)

From the “Mobile Suit Gundam The Origin” / “Mobile Suit Gundam MSD” universe, the MS-06D Zaku Desert Type is a high-desert-combat adaptation of Zeon’s MS-06 Zaku II. This special “Pink Panther Forces” variant features a striking rose-pink and dark-grey colour scheme, marking an elite desert assault unit tailored for maximum mobility and effectiveness in hostile terrain.

Key Features

• Snap-fit High Grade 1/144 scale construction — ideal for both new and experienced builders.
• Pre-coloured parts faithfully reproduce the desert camo pink & grey palette of the “Pink Panther” unit, reducing paint work required.
• Includes updated desert-combat parts: larger thrusters, extended leg armour and sand-skirt modules to reflect the Zaku Desert Type’s high-mobility design.

Accessories & Armaments

• M-120AS Zaku Machine Gun — standard for desert operations.
• SA-712 Cracker Pod (×2) — grenade/pod detach units for high-volume fire support.
• P-3 Dual Missile Pod — optional heavy-payload missile system for extra firepower.
• Heat Hawk — melee weapon for close-quarters desert skirmish.
• Hands: trigger-finger (right) and open-palm (left) included for varied pose-option weapon handling.

Articulation & Gimmicks

The kit features full articulation including ball-joint shoulders, double-joint elbows & knees, and hip swing geometry tuned for wide stances. The head mono-eye rides a rail system for left-to-right tracking. The sand-skirt modules are poseable to prevent interference with leg articulation, making dynamic desert assault poses possible.
