Tips & Tricks[]
- 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.
- The Clear Armor parts and the additional weapons from the first and second RX-78-2 Gundam Custom Sets can be used on this kit.
