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 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.
- The Effect Unit "Moonlight Butterfly" for HGCC ∀ Gundam can be used for this kit.
Customizing-based tips[]
- Front skirt's joint can be optionally separated.
- The Gundam Hammer included in HG Ver.G30th RX-78-2 Gundam can be used as Turn A's own Gundam Hammer.
- The cross-shaped groove on the blue chest can be optionally painted white to represent Syd Mead's design.
