Includes[]

The head can rotate on a ball-and-socket joint.
- Monoeye features a gear mechanism that moves when the head is turned sideways.
Shoulder joints can pull out and swing frontwards.
The arms can...
- 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 elbows can turn.
The elbows and knees are double-jointed.
The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
The poseable manipulators feature 3+1+1 articulation on each finger.
The waist can rotate 360 degrees.
Front, side, and rear skirt armors are poseable to avoid interference with the leg articulation.
The hip joint frame can tilt frontwards or backwards.
The upper thighs can...
- Swing frontward/backward on a peg-and-socket joint.
- Raise horizontally and/or rotate on a ball-and-socket joint.
The ankles can tilt/pivot.

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.
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 onto either side or rear waist armor via a holster piece.
Bazooka can be stored onto 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.

For better results, some of the details are needed 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.

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