Tips & Tricks
- For better results, most of the details are needed to be applied and panel-lined with Gundam Markers.
- Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers and if any, marking decals and painted details.
- Care must be taken while separating the hand parts: Due to its slightly tight construction, the pin that connects the thumb section can potentially snap off if you separate it with excessive force.
- If one chooses, the normal Unicorn Mode shield can be built into Destroy Mode's shield with the surplus pieces (B25, B26, E28, 2 pairs of C20-21)
- The surplus shield adapter (A9) can be used as well.
Customizing-based tips
- Front skirt's joint can be optionally separated.
- The open hands from the HGUC RX-0 Unicorn Gundam (Unicorn Mode) can be used on this kit.
- The clear parts from The Gundam Base exclusive variant can be used to swap the Psycoframe parts (and its polycaps) to recreate the deactivated version of the unit.
B-Club related customizations
- High Detail Manipulator 200 can be used for this kit.
