  • Beam Tomahawk hilt can be optionally removed from the shield as a handheld weapon.
    • Beam Tomahawk's attack mode can be recreated with either Beam Tomahawk or the Beam Sword effect parts.
  • The panel underneath Sazabi's crotch can be optionally removed to reveal a port for Action Bases (1 and 4 recommended).

Tips & Tricks

  • If one wished to repaint it kit, one must strip off the metallic paint.
  • Due to the parts being coated along with the runner (and combined with a lack of undergates), cutting the pieces off from the sprues may leave some marks, even if some care is taken.
    • Likewise, some parts' tabs/notches can be in a tight fit while assembling, so some scraping is needed.
    • If possible, the marks can be repaired by applying metallic colors that matches the coated plastic.

B-Club related customizations

  • High Detail Manipulator 170 can be used for this kit. (repainted required)

Notes & Trivia

  • Along with the Metallic coated version of the Nu Gundam kit, This Gunpla is released to promote the Blu-ray release of Char's Counterattack.
  • Unlike the photos seen in the box art, the runners are completely separated to each other, as per norm to metallic coating/Extra Finish kits.
  • This is also the last metallic-coated Sazabi kit to be released for the regular retail, as subsequent variants of the newer Sazabi kits is moved to being a webshop/The Gundam Base exclusives instead.
