Weapons/Other Gimmicks

• Cockpit hatch can be opened/closed.
• The fingers are swappable.
• Any of the weapons can be wielded by the hands, though it depends on which fingers you're installing.
• The Mace and Sword can be stored on the backpack via adapter pieces, and the Smoothbore Gun can be stored by extending the gray parts of the backpack. Note though that while there are three weapons included, only two can be stored this way at a time.
• Smoothbore Gun can be transformed into storage mode.
• The piledriver part and handle of the Mace can be extended/retracted.
• The Mace has two removable blades which can then be wielded separately by the model as long daggers.
• The backpack can be opened to reveal sub-arms (one on each side) that can be used to aid the model when handling the weapons, though this may cause difficulty in posing.
• Pistons in different areas of the model (e.g. shoulder, torso, elbows, knees, and ankles) move accordingly with their corresponding parts.
• The turbine part of each Ahab Reactor rotates independently.
• The calf part of the leg armor can move to enable the full bend of the knee joints.

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.
• Top coat (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 translucent and the chromed parts - can be done by masking or spraying top coat while the said parts are separated.
• Exercise caution while posing the c-jointed frame of the front foot piece, as it can break if handled with excessive force.

Customizing-based tips

• The MG Gundam Barbatos Expansion Parts Set can be used to remodel Barbatos into 1st to 3rd, and 5th to 6th forms.
