Tips & Tricks

• For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be painted and panel-lined with Gundam markers and/or Mr. Color paints.
• Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied marking decals and if any, painted details.
  • If using matte/flat-finish top coat, it is advisable not to spray on the clear/translucent and metal parts - can be done by masking or spraying top coat while the said parts are separated.
• The RG GoldyMarg can be used on this Plamo.

Customizing-based tips

• If one chooses, the Galeon/GaiGar can be painted entirely white (with an exception of the clear parts) to represent the Repli-GaiGar/Galeon from GaoGaiGar FINAL.

Notes & Trivia

• This plamo is the...
  • Second model kit iteration of GaoGaiGar since the SDCS kit.
  • First non-Super Deformed iteration of the GaoGaiGar kit from Bandai Hobby.
• Due to limitations, the details on the GaoLiner's window areas are compensated with (PET) stickers, though the details can be painted if desired.
