Tips & Tricks

  • For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be applied/panel-lined with Gundam Markers and/or Mr. Color paints.
  • Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers/marking decals and if any, painted details.

Variants

Italicized items are exclusives.

Notes & Trivia

  • This Gunpla is...

    • Released in conjunction with the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED HD Remaster project.
