Tips & Tricks

• If one wished to repaint it kit, one must strip off the metallic paint.
• Due to the parts being coated along with the runner (and combined with a lack of undergates), cutting the pieces off from the sprues may leave some marks, even if some care is taken.
  • Likewise, some parts' tabs/notches can be in a tight fit while assembling, so some scraping is needed.
  • If possible, the marks can be repaired by applying metallic colors that matches the coated plastic.

B-Club related customizations

• High Detail Manipulator 170 can be used for this kit. (repainted required)
