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 possibly decrease gripping stability.)
