Backorder this item by December 7, 2020 JST to get it on its re-release in April!
Kotobukiya updates their excellent 1/72 model kit of the heavily armed Liger Zero Panzer! It features a fully articulated inner frame onto which you attach the armor parts (or don't attach, if you prefer). It's compatible with the Flying Base (not included, sold separately) for airborne poses, and its generously jointed body means you can put it into just about any battle-ready pose you can think of! Its 22 missile hatches can be opened and closed, and its heavy gun/hybrid cannon can also be deployed. A special folding gimmick has been added so the head sensor won't interfere with the hybrid cannon; its rear heels also feature anchors. A pilot figure is included, as are new decals of various emblems and caution marks. Note that this kit includes the Liger Zero body with the Panzer unit.
- [Size]: Approximately 32cm long when completed
- [Materials]: PS, PE, ABS, PVC

Assembly Guide
Skill Level 3:
Basic Skills Required
Kits rated as skill level 3 are traditional model kits that require all basic modeling skills to complete. This includes cutting parts from runners and trimming or sanding them prior to use, assembling them with cement, and the use of paint to complete them.
To properly complete a level 3 kit, you should have at least a basic set of modeling supplies, including plastic nippers, a hobby knife, files and/or sandpaper, plastic cement, instant (cyanoacrylate) cement (for resin, soft-vinyl or metal parts), painting supplies including brushes, paint, thinner and masking tape, tweezers and possibly decal softener for applying decals to difficult areas.
Kits in this class are not suitable for small children unless there is complete parental supervision. Adults who have never before completed a plastic model kit may want to read one of the many excellent modeling guides available at most hobby shops before trying to build one of these kits.
Skill level 3 kits include a very large portion of our catalog. Most traditional plastic model kits fall into this category.
Cement Required

This item requries the use of cement (glue) to complete. For injection-plastic kits, use the weld-type clear cement specifically designed for use on styrene plastic. For some smaller parts, you may wish to use instant type (cyanoacrylate) glue. For resin, white metal, soft vinyl and photo-etched materials, the use of instant type cement is strongly recommended.
A SAFETY NOTE ABOUT INSTANT CEMENT
Parents and all modelers should note that instant cement (cyanoacrylate) bonds skin instantly. While this in itself is not harmful, forcibly attempting to pull the skin apart can tear the skin and cause injury. If you or your child happens to inadvertenly glue themselves with instant cement, don't pull, but use remover for instant cement, or nail polish remover to dissolve the bond instead.
Painting Required
This model kit or accessory must be painted in order to achieve a realistic appearance.

While there are slight differences depending on the country you live in, there are generally three types of paint available for modeling: Acrylic, Enamel and Lacquer. Their characteristics are described below.
