    • Swing on a peg-and-socket joint.
    • Raise horizontally.
      • The shoulder armor and shields are jointed, allowing some movement to provide clearance for the arm articulation.
  • The upper arms can rotate.
  • Both the elbows and knees are double-jointed.
  • The manipulators...
    • Can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
    • Feature 3+1+1 articulation on each finger.
  • The waist can rotate 360 degrees.
  • The hip joint frame can tilt forward or backward.
  • The upper thighs can swing forward/backward on a peg-and-socket joint, raise horizontally, and/or swivel/rotate on a ball-and-socket joint.
    • Front, side, and rear skirt armors can be lifted to provide clearance.
  • The ankles can tilt/pivot.

Weapons/Other Gimmicks[]

  • The cockpit hatch can be opened/closed.
  • The hands are swappable.
  • Any of the weapons can be wielded by the poseable hands.
    • The Weapons feature molded/flip-out tabs for gripping stability.
  • Both the Machine Gun and Bazooka foregrips can swing out for the hands to wield.
  • The Magazine Drum can be detached from the Machine Gun and can be mounted onto either side or the bottom part of the rear waist armor.
  • Heat Hawk can be stored on either side or rear waist armor via a holster piece.
  • Bazooka can be stored on the rear waist armor by flipping down the rear waist's built-in joint.
  • Zaku II can be displayed with any Action Bases (Sold separately) via an adapter.

Tips & Tricks[]

  • For better results, some of the details need to be panel-lined with Gundam markers.
  • Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied decals. (Water-based topcoat is recommended due to the kit having PP parts)
    • If using matte/flat-finish top coat, it is advisable not to spray on the clear/translucent parts - can be done by masking or spraying top coat while the said parts are separated.
  • Take note that the shoulder's socket joint and the shoulder armor's joint must be thoroughly snapped to complete the assembly.
  • Care must be taken on the weapon's tabs: the pivoting wrist joint on the poseable manipulators (which also doubles as a peg socket) can make the weapons pop off from it if not attached properly.

Customizing-based tips[]

  • The BPHD MS Hand 02 (or any of its variants, though some need to be repainted to match the hands' colors) can be used on this Gunpla. (A 3mm Ball joint is required)

Variants[]

Italicized item/s are exclusives.
