The Zaku’s New York exhibition made the TV news in Japan.
Via Kenji Toki’s official site, here are photos of 30cm Zaku. As you can see, the lacquer makes this the most beautiful Zaku model ever created.

Thats actually pretty awesome, I’ve been eyeing a perfect grade Zaku kit for a while now and this just makes me wish I could get a lacquer one.
