Tips & Tricks

• For better results, most/some 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 decals.
• Due to the added weight of the armor unit, some of the joints may become loose. A very thin layer of glue is needed to be applied onto the hip ball joints.

Customizing-based tips

• Front skirt's joint can be optionally separated.
