- Hyper Bazooka and/or Beam Magnum ammo packs are removable and each can be stored on the rear waist armor.
- The tabs from the Hyper Bazooka and Beam Magnum's rear section can be flipped out so they can be stored on the backpack. (Note: There's only one slot so only one of the weapons can be attached at a time.)
- Beam Magnum can be attached to a slot on the forearm.

- Mount onto any of the forearms, though the default position is on the left.

Tips & Tricks
- For better results, some of the details are needed to be panel-lined with Gundam markers.
- Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied decals. (Water-based topcoat is recommended due to the kit having PP parts)
- 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.
- Exercise caution while posing the hip joints: The joint parts can potentially snap off if not handled carefully.
- During the assembly of the chest, exercise extreme caution while following the instruction to twist both Arms 90° for the first time. If you apply too much force in one go while holding on to a potential weak point, the arms will snap easily.
- Instead slowly work both of the arms back and forth until you are able to twist them freely with a small bit of resistance. (Taking the time to do this will help you avoid a very common issue that could break the arms of your model kit, halting your progress altogether.)
Variants
- A limited production run of the kit consists an alternate packaging of the Unicorn Gundam in Unicorn Mode.
