I actually mistakenly bought this kit thinking it was the 2.0 version but despite the original's age, I was pleasantly surprised with the build. Sure there are screws, polycaps-a-plenty, and the overall execution just isn't quite what it is with newer kits (I also have the Zaku II 2.0) but despite those facts I really enjoyed it. The one obvious pitfall is the 50 round 'cable shrouds' that make up the tubing you see on the model. I tapered a piece of sprue that was roughly the same diameter as the inside dimension of the pieces and then chucked that into a variable speed cordless drill. I kept the speed low and I was able to get through them all in short order.

Comes with screws that don’t fit properly, knees and arms don’t hold well and the pieces for the hoses also don’t fits properly and make it look tacky

Very nice kit for it's ace, only thing wrong with it is the shield handle, it's INCREDIBLY easy to snap
