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.
- Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers/marking decals and if any, painted details.
- If using matte/flat-finish topcoat, it is advisable not to spray on the clear/translucent parts - can be done by masking or spraying topcoat while the said parts are separated.
- The middle, ring, pinky fingers can be sliced off for individual articulation. (NOTE: May decrease gripping stability.)
Variants[]
- Later reissues of the kit from September 2018 onward will feature a blue Bandai Spirits logo.
