The MS-06 Zaku II Prototype Propellant Tank Unit was a variant of the Principality of Zeon’s standard use MS-06F Zaku II. To extend its cruising range, the prototype mounted two propellant tanks on its chest and four on a specially designed backpack. However, the trade-off for extended cruising range was a considerable decrease in mobility and imbalance created by the weight of the propellant tanks. Its only armament was the standard Zaku II shoulder shield.

At long last, Glow of Youth by @OZKai, a bit of #Gunpla history, is framed and on the wall. So happy to have it.
Should have done this ages ago, but here’s all the Victory Gundam settei scans that I received from @Gamer101_123 last year.
Character designs by Hiroshi Osaka with dates for most of them (contains some duplicates)
