Tips & Tricks
- For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be applied & panel-lined with Gundam Markers and/or Mr. Color paints.
- Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers/marking decals and if any, painted details.
- If using matte/flat-finish topcoat, it is advisable not to spray on the clear/translucent parts - can be done by masking or spraying topcoat while the said parts are separated.
- The front skirt's joint can be optionally separated.
- The leftover beam saber effect can be used on the HGUC GM Type C's Beam Saber hilt.
- High Detail Manipulator 235 can be used for this kit.
Variants
- Reissues of the Gunpla from September 2018 onward will feature a blue Bandai Spirits logo.
Notes & Trivia
- While the kit's subtitles label it as a "Mass-Produced Mobile Suit", the unit type in the actual lore is a Limited Production MS.
