I know most of us here at ZP can build Liger Zero in our sleep. I did, however, want to include a full build review on ZP for reference material in case of lost instructions, no instructions, or the like. I had the time to do a full build review while on vacation, I hope this helps anyone in need, enjoy! (P.S. The pictures aren't the best, as I was away in a room with horrid light, but they work.)

Liger Zero RZ-041 is a must for every collection. The main character both Zoids New Century and the Fuzors series, Liger Zero is probably the most recognized Zoid out of the entire collection. The model is nothing below excellent in both build and display qualities. The build is challenging, the sticker sheet is unique, and the finished Zoid makes a wicked display piece. There are three CAS (or changing Armor systems available) for this piece. As of this writing they are getting both more expensive and harder to find. The CAS systems are also marked as CP's (Custom Parts) and are each reviewed individually below:


I recently acquired my fourth Liger Zero and thought that it deserved it's own full build review. What follows is a pictorial review of building the Liger Zero RZ-041.

There are two versions of the Hasbro Box, both are nice but I do prefer the newer one. Both models are exactly the same.
The older Hasbro Box:


The newer version:


Liger Zero consists of:

12 Sprues 
24 Caps
1 Pilot
2 Jaw Pieces
1 Sticker Sheet

The build begins with the assembling the main body around the motor.








The build begins with assembling the main body around the motor.




Next, the fin units and upper neck vent.




Next, work begins on the tail piece.



The booster unit is then assembled.



The booster unit is then positioned atop the body.



Next, the jaw unit both upper and lower are placed.



The side blades are then aligned.


And both side guards are placed.


The head is finished up the the canopy and cover.


Complete:


Work then begins on the legs. The Liger Zero is infamous for its tricky leg construction that begins with the feet.


Foreleg construction follows.




The rear leg is then assembled.





The process is then repeated for the opposite side and the legs are attached to the body via caps.




The stickers are placed and the unit is then ready for display

You could mention the third hasbro box that combined the schneider unit, and also an off colored LZ.

A zoid design with the largest number of variants by Tomy. I don't suppose a HMM version is too far away?
