A collection of Char's custom plated parts versions.
They've all got their own distinct color tones.

This is the Zaku II v2.0 Char's Custom Extra Finish coating version, released as a 2009 Gunpla Expo limited edition. The body has a glossy coating that gives it a nice sheen, while the pink sections on the arms and legs are finished with a subtle Extra Finish coating. The weapons in particular get a bright gunmetal Extra Finish coating applied to them, which gives the whole thing an incredibly premium feel.

The Zaku II v2.0 is such a legendary kit that there's really no need to go into the quality, and the coating itself is excellent too — but the problem, as you can see in the photos, is that this kit shows gate marks more visibly than just about any other kit.. T_T Aside from that one issue, it really is a fantastic plated parts version, which makes it a bit of a shame.. Well, I guess there's nothing to do but think of those gate marks as a realistic depiction of battle damage :-)
