Kit Features & Gimmicks
Articulation
The head can swivel on a ball joint.
The arms can...
Swing on a peg-and-socket joint.
Raise horizontally.
The upper arms can rotate.
Arm joints can be bent up to 90 degrees.
The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
The waist can rotate 360 degrees, though it can be hindered by a few skirt armor (and the Chobham Armor) parts.
Front and side skirt armors can pivot to avoid interference with the leg articulation.
The upper thighs can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint, though the backwards articulation is limited due to the non-poseable skirt armor.
Leg joints can be bent up to 100 degrees.
The ankles can tilt/pivot in a limited manner.
Weapons/Other Gimmicks
The right hand is swappable.
Each of the weapons must be wielded by their respective hands.
Beam Saber handles can be optionally removed from the backpack if one prefers to display the Gundam NT-1 with the single-colored Beam Saber part.
Gatling Guns on the Gundam NT-1's arms can be rearranged into firing mode via parts swapping.
Chobham Armor parts can be optionally installed into the Alex.
Tips & Tricks
For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be painted/panel-lined 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 Beam Saber hilts are compatible with the SB-6 Beam Saber effect parts from other kits.
The chest Chobham Armor can be removed from the body with the beam saber still mounted on: Remove the front and back armor pieces before taking off the side pieces.
For painters, exercise caution while installing the Beam Rifle + Trigger hand parts on the right forearm: The front end of the painted forearm may chip off if one attempts to mount it with the forearm facing sideways.
Customizing-based tips
If one wishes, the kit can use the yellow surplus pieces from the HGUC Gundam AN-01 "Tristan" to replace the orange parts.
