Kit Features & Gimmicks

Articulation

• Mono-eye can move when the head is turned sideways.
• Shoulder joints can swing frontward.
• The arms can...
  • Swing on a peg-and-socket joint.
  • Raise horizontally.
• The shoulder shield and armors are jointed, allowing some articulation to avoid interference with the horizontal arm articulation.
• The upper arms can rotate.
• The elbows feature double-jointed parts.
• The manipulators...
  • Can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
  • Feature 3+1+1 articulation on each finger.
• The waist can only rotate 45 degrees due to the mostly limited space caused by the movement pipes.
• Front, side and rear skirt armors can lift up to avoid interference with the legs' articulation.
• The upper thighs can swing frontwards/backwards on a peg, raise horizontally and/or rotate on each piece.
• The knees can only bend up to 90 degrees.
• The ankles can pivot/tilt in a limited manner.
• The front foot pieces can pivot.

Weapons/Other Gimmicks

• The cockpit can swivel from left or right via a switch on the back. (removal for the backpack is required.)
• Any of the weapons can be wielded by the poseable hands.
  • Each palm features tab-holes for the weapons' molded pegs for gripping stability.
• Machine gun foregrip can swivel left or right.
• Heat Hawk can be mounted onto the left waist armor via an adapter.
• Bazooka foregrip can swivel left or right.
• Zaku II can mount onto Action Bases 1 or 4 via an adapter.

Tips & Tricks

• For better results, some or most of the details (including the figurines) can be painted and 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.)

B-Club related customizations

• High Detail Manipulator 145 can be used for this kit. (Repaint on the dorsals are required)
