For better results, some of the details are needed to be panel-lined with Gundam markers.
Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied decals. (Water-based topcoat is recommended due to the kit having PP parts)
- If using matte/flat-finish top coat, it is advisable not to spray on the clear/translucent parts - can be done by masking or spraying top coat while the said parts are separated.
For an easier PVC wire assembly on the mesh pipes, you must do a quick swipe on the pipes' edges with a fire torch. However, caution is needed to do this method, as burning the mesh pipes for an amount of time may destroy it.

The BPHD MS Hand 01 (or any of it's variants, though some are needed to be repainted to match the hands' colors) can be used on this Gunpla. (3mm Ball joint is required)
