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.
  • Top coat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers, 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 the softer parts - can be done by masking or spraying top coat while the said parts are separated.
  • The middle, ring, pinky fingers can be sliced off for individual articulation. (NOTE: May decrease gripping stability.)

Variants[]

Italicized item/s are exclusives, while Strikethrough lines are canceled releases.

Reissues of the kit from September 2018 onward will feature a blue-colored Bandai Spirits logo. Later reprints from mid-2022 will also feature an additional Bandai Namco logo. This release also slightly amends the issue regarding the loose joints, which is used for the MG Gundam Avalanche Exia Dash.
