Kit Features & Gimmicks

Articulation

• Swing on a peg-and-socket joint.
• Raise horizontally.
• The upper arms can rotate.
• Both elbow and knee joints can be bent up to 90 degrees.
• The manipulators can swivel/pivot on a ball-and-socket joint.
• The waist can rotate, though it's hindered by a few skirt armor panels.
• Front and side skirt armors can pivot to avoid interference with the leg articulation.

Weapons/Other Gimmicks

• Any of the weapons can be wielded by the trigger-finger hands.

• Beam Saber hilts can be optionally removed from the backpack as handheld weapons.
• The shield can attach onto...

Tips & Tricks

• For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be applied and 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.
• 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.
• As seen in the included How-to guide book by Dengeki Hobby/Hobby Japan, the kit can be optionally painted into Real Type (or G-3's, Casval Rem Deikun's colors, or whatever you prefer) colors.

Notes & Trivia

• Other than the panel-lining/weathering tutorial, the How-to-guide book also features a detailed build by Hiroyuki Noda (with Takuji Yamada doing the finishes) of Hobby Japan, and a Real Type Gundam modeled by Yamazaki Gunso of Dengeki Hobby. 
• A hidden Core Block panel can be seen at the E-1 runner. Bandai Hobby's staff also endorses any of the customizers to recreate the Core Fighter's docking feature or its hidden cockpit feature if needed.
