Tips & Tricks
- For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be applied with Gundam Markers or Mr. Color paints.
- Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers and if any, marking decals and painted details.
- The Smoothbore Cannon from the HGI-BA Mobile Suit Option Set 1 can be used on this Gunpla.
Customizing-based Tips
- The frame can be replaced with the Gundam Frame 4 from the HG Gundam Barbatos 6th Form for easier shoulder frame removal and a stable foot swivel. (The polycap on the front foot is needed to be replaced)
- A wire hook from HG Schwalbe Graze can be attached to the 1st form's left arm. (removal of the gauntlet & elbow guard is needed)
- The open hands from the Mobile Suit Option Set 7 can be used for this kit. (The dorsals must be swapped.)
