Tips & Tricks

• For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be applied with Gundam Markers or Mr. Color paints.
  • The Gundam Color Set for MG Dom can be used to paint this kit.
• Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers and marking decals.
  • 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.

Notes & Trivia

• This item is first revealed at Gunpla EXPO 2020.
• Like the MG Dwadge, This Gunpla also made a few modifications from the original mold:
  • The heat saber's hilt is remolded for better storage stability.
  • The upper leg's frame has been redesigned for better articulation.
• Due to the modifications made for this kit, This Gunpla is considered as the closest thing to have a "Ver. 1.5" release of the MG Rick Dom.
