Tips & Tricks

• For better results, some details are needed to be applied with Gundam Markers or Mr. Color paints.
• Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers and if any, painted details and marking decals.
• If using matte/flat-finish top coat, it is advisable not to spray on the clear/translucent parts - can be done by masking or spraying top coat while the said parts are separated.

Customizing-based tips

• For better results on the Head's visor, the face's (A1) inner piece can:
• Applied with chrome paint.
• Paste the sticker by cutting it from the surplus foil sticker sheets.
• Various parts from the 1/144 Tallgeese-based (Or the Serpent's) kits can be attached on this mold. (Note: joint adapters from the HG Customize Campaign kits are required.) 
• The Space Type equipments from the Space Type kit & the Flight type equipments from the Flight Unit Type kit can be used for the kit.

Painting related customizations

• Leo can be optionally repainted into East Asian Forces & Space Type colors.

Notes & Trivia

• This Leo is the first High Grade and the second plastic model iteration of the Mobile Suit ever released since the Limited Model kit. 
• Unlike the LM kit, the HGAC stands taller than the original Gunpla, due to being molded in 1/132 scale.
• Unlike most HGUC Gunplas, the instructions mention that front skirt armor is required to be separated while assembling, as opposed of being an optional step.
• Although stock renders showed that the Leo uses the Beam Saber effect part from the SB-13 runner, the final product & photos uses the SB-6 Beam Saber runner instead.
• Ironically, the Beam Saber parts from the latter runner can be loose when attached on the hilts.
• This Gunpla is one of the few HG kits not to feature any sticker sheet.

Variants

Italicized items are exclusives.

Reissues of the kit from September 2018 onward will feature a blue-colored Bandai Spirits logo. Later reprints from mid-2022 will also feature an additional Bandai Namco logo.
