did some1 jz call my name 

the HGUC 06 Zaku II was an old mold, no waist articulation, no thruster mold (blank backpack), no handpegs, etc while the F2 is newer.
if you wanted something of Zaku disregards of the version, the HGUC Zaku I and Zaku I Sniper Type (normal or Yonem Kirks ver) should be considered too

depand on what PG u like.

Highly recomen aile strike.   

if can go yodabashi at akiba. the gundam already cheap there and on top of that you can show ur passport to get tax reduction.   

hint: the PG there super cheap!
hint2: make sure you got time to check through every single component before you depart. This happen to me before that my PG 00 Gundam got 1 pack of tiny screw missing. Cause me A LOT of trouble to find the replacement. 

Looks can be deceiving, it may look good at first but most of em hav big flaws that end up disappointing u. Newer MG can rival and sometimes surpass PG engineering and enjoyment wise. If u dun like Strike and ARF (as this is the only good PG out there) then u r out of luck. Take this into consideration b4 making any purchases.

quoting my friend's quote "once you have gone PG, there's no return back"

yup, 1 PG is enough.....then will be second & 3rd...

answer, no.. nothing can match the chrome like the one provided with Exia Ignition Mode.. the closest is maybe chrome silver paint/marker from brands like tamiya but you will never be able to get something as shiny as the chrome they provide since it's done via electro plating

post some picts after youre done =)

The Blade looks fine to me....take a snap shot of the part on the blade that has the issue.

Meanwhile here are two more of my works.
