Tips & Tricks

• For better results, some/most 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 stickers and if any, marking decals and painted details.
  • If using matte/flat-finish top coat, it is advisable not to spray on the clear/translucent parts - can be done by masking or spraying top coat while the said parts are separated.

Customizing-based tips

• The Gundam Ace exclusive Long Rifle freebie can be used for this kit.
• The translucent version of the camera eyes allows for easier LED modification.
