Tips & Tricks

Notes & Trivia
- Not counting the B-Club kit, this Gunpla is the second plastic model iteration of the Nightingale unit, following the RE/100 kit.
- This Gunpla is first revealed at the Gunpla EXPO Tokyo 2020 Feat. G-Conference online event, though it's already leaked in several social media sites before it hits the reveal date.
- The included Beam Rifle also serves as an add-on for the builders that intend to complete the Ballistic Zaku (HGGTO MS-06S Zaku II/HGGTO MS-06S Zaku II (Red Comet Ver.)/HGUC MS-06S Zaku II Commander Type Char Aznable Custom (2020)Â +Â HGBC Ballistic Weapons) model kit build, though the rifle is much larger than the one seen in the ONA.
