Uh... let me get this straight... just so I did translate things right... the Thunderbolt Zaku II differs from the base version by having some sort of fabric-like covering over the joints and those "Zeon power pipe" thingies, right? And also has more verniers, particularly those mounted on the appendages?

Also, heard a lot of horror stories of people trying to get those pipes right. A lot of people seem to mention just giving up trying to cut them out right and sand them down to get the right texture, instead springing for aftermarket pipes made out of metal instead?

Edit:

Also, did I get the Zaku chartags correct?

*digs the Thunderbolt Zaku box out of the Pile of Shame* Check, check and check on the Thunderbolt version, but she neglected to mention the most distinctive part: the oversized backpack (as with most other Thunderbolt suits).

One correction: オリジン版 doesn't refer to the original Zaku II, but rather to the version that appears in Gundam The Origin.

Ah. Thanks for both the clarification and correction.
