Tips & Tricks

• For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be applied & panel-lined with Gundam Markers/Mr. Color Paints.
• Topcoat (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 translucent parts - can be done by masking or spraying top coat while the said parts are separated.

Release dates

Notes & Trivia

• The Gunpla's coloration is based on the Trans-Am feature Dynames (while mounted with the GN Arms (Type D)) used in the first "Special Edition" compilation movie.
