Tips & Tricks

• An extra polycap piece (PC3) from the PC-002 runner can be used for the extra shoulder parts.
• For better results:
• some or most of the details are needed to applied/panel lined with Gundam Markers and/or Mr. Color paints.
• The machine gun must be painted in the same gray color.
• Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers/marking decals and if any, painted details.
• If using matte/flat-finish top coat, it is advisable not to spray on the translucent parts - can be done by masking or spraying top coat while the said parts are separated.
• Take note that the neck joint (C1 13) is only compatible with the kit's included head part (and some other HGUC GM Ground type variants)
• Due to its tight construction, care must be taken while posing the joint piece inside the torso/waist, especially the one part (C1 16) that connects the waist and the grey color-separated chest piece, which can develop stress marks during the build. Sanding the waist's swivel joint & the grey part's central circular latch is recommended to make a smoother fit. NOTE: This has the potential risk of over-sanding, which makes the joints to fit loosely.

Notes & Trivia

• Unlike most Gunplas, the instructions mention that front skirt armor is required to be separated while assembling, as opposed to being an optional step.
• As with all variants of the 2017 Blue Destiny Unit 1 mold, Most of the backpack parts that shared with the same mounting points are incompatible due to both panels protruding on each side of the rear section.
• To date, this Gunpla has yet to be redecoed into the RX-79BD-2 Blue Destiny Unit 2 Ω (Omega) from Mobile Suit Gundam: Bonds of the Battlefield/Mobile Suit Gundam Katana.
