Tips & Tricks

• For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be applied/panel-lined with Gundam Markers and/or Mr. Color paints.

Notes & Trivia

• This Gunpla is the first HGUC iteration of the Gundam Ez8 unit since the HG08 releasefrom 25 years ago.
• Unlike the 2007 HGUC Gundam Ground Type kit,  the ammo packs are molded to the side skirts and can't be removed, the shield also lacks the stand bipod feature from the Gundam Ground Type/Blue Destiny Unit 1's shields.
• The open hands aren't wide enough to hold the beam rifle's grip.
• Despite using better engineering than the HG08 kit, this HGUC lacks an opening cockpit gimmick, and it requires stickers to lock the parachute's straps rather than this kit's buckles.
• If you look closely, the GM head Gundam Ground Type seen on the packaging art has six fingers on his right manipulator.
