Tips & Tricks
- For better results, some of the details are needed to be panel-lined with Gundam markers.
- Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied decals. (Water-based topcoat is recommended due to the kit having PP parts)
- 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.
- Take note that the shoulder's socket joint and the shoulder armor's joint must be thoroughly snapped to complete the assembly.
- Care must be taken on the weapon's tabs: the pivoting wrist joint on the poseable manipulators (which also doubles as a peg socket) can make the weapons pop off from it if not attached properly.
