＜Cover story＞
Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam


　Thirty years have passed since the 1985 premiere of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. Our cover story this month is a detailed look at the new Master Grade "MSN-00100 Hyakushiki Ver.2.0" released to celebrate this anniversary.
　SSC shows how to improve the MG Hyakushiki Ver.2.0's detail even more. Meanwhile, JUNIII provides an advance review of the RE/100 Dijeh due out June 20th. Teppei Hayashi builds the Premium Bandai-exclusive MG Mega Bazooka Launcher three times as fast to round out this Char and Amuro-focused feature. Thirty years later, Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam is still in the present!


＜ Feature #2＞
Gundam Build Fighters Try


　The latest in a series of Gundam Build Fighters Try features is a polished build of the HGBF Gundam The End and Denial Gundam showing off their in-show features (and don't forget Petitgguy!) Daisan Sawami and Masuo Seira contribute HGBF Try Burning Gundam and HGBF Lightning Gundam entries to this month's Gunpla Love, too.
　And in Gundam Build Fighters Honoo Try, Tsubasa sets her sights on a new goal, only to find a legendary fighter as an opponent!


＜ Feature #3＞
Blue Knight


　It's been two years since the kit was announced and entered development. Now, finally, Volks's 1/24 Blue Knight series begins with the "ATM-FX∞ Berserga SSS-X Testarossa".
　The Testarossa is the final, and most powerful, AT piloted by Cain MacDougal, star of this Armored Trooper VOTOMS spinoff. Appearing only at the climax, its description, and its design by Kazumi Fujita, redefined fans' very thoughts of what an AT could be and earned it an enduring popularity.
　We bring you a review of the 1/24 Testarossa by Keisuke Watanabe, including stoic yet clever tricks to make the kit even better.


＜ Feature #4＞
The Next Generation Patlabor


　 The Next Generation Patlabor: Shuto Kessen premiered May 1st. The culmination of a series of live-action Patlabor films, its climax features a clash between the Ingrams and the GSDF's "Grey Ghost" stealth helicopter. In this month's issue, Eisaku Kito, credited with Ingram molding for the films, reviews Bandai's 1/48 kit; we also take a look at his own model. The kit is packed with features designed by Kito that never made it into the final cut; how will you use them? See it side-by-side with the original build!
