Construction and optional painting

Deathscythe EW includes the beam scythe, opening Buster Shield, clear effect parts and standing and seated Duo Maxwell figures. Assemble its PS armor around the ABS frame and PE polycaps, and check the hand options before fitting the weapons. Bandai recommends water-based paint and advises against painting ABS parts.

The supplied sheets contain color and marking stickers plus dry-transfer Gundam Decals. Follow the rub-down method for the transfers; a rounded tip, tape and tweezers can help with placement. The optional color guide includes six separate Duo figure recipes, and panel lining is shown as an optional detailing step. Action Base 1 is sold separately.

Materials in the parts list: PS runners A, B, C1, C2, D, E, F, G1 and G2; ABS runners H, XA and XB; PE PC-205A polycaps.

The original also shows optional panel lining without prescribing an exact paint or marker color or numerical product code.

The original recommends water-based paint and gives named ingredients without numerical H/C product codes. The water-based AK 3GEN store products below are optional approximate candidates, not manufacturer-specified paints or physically verified matches.

Complete original painting recipes

12 printed roles use 14 distinct named ingredients. 6 roles contain mixtures; 0 use separate paint layers. Original proportions describe the source paints. Ratios for these substitute pigments are unvalidated starting points: test and adjust a small dried sample. Unquantified additions remain unquantified. Keep undercoats and topcoats separate and let each layer dry.

Named ingredients and optional store candidates

12 mapped purchase cards and 2 disabled ingredient references cover all 14 named ingredients. Mapped cards represent 12 unique paint variants. Source-role counts are not purchase quantities. Each selected variant is added once, even if chosen for more than one source ingredient.

1. White. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic White AK11001. White is a named opaque water-based candidate. Exact source formulation and dried appearance are untested. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: matte.
2. Navy Blue. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Dark Blue AK11181. Dark Blue has a dark navy-blue chart sample. It is a hue-family approximation, distinct from the near-black Midnight Blue candidate. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: matte.
3. Blue. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Deep Blue AK11182. Deep Blue supplies an opaque blue candidate, with untested depth and pigment strength. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: matte.
4. Black. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Black AK11029. Black is a named opaque water-based candidate. Exact source formulation and dried appearance are untested. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: matte.
5. Red. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Matt Red AK11092. Matt Red supplies an opaque red candidate; matte describes the candidate, not a proven source finish. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: matte.
6. Yellow. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Yellow AK11044. Yellow is a named opaque water-based candidate. Exact source formulation and dried appearance are untested. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: matte.
7. Orange. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Medium Orange AK11078. Orange is a named opaque water-based candidate. Exact source formulation and dried appearance are untested. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: matte.
8. Monza Red. No independently supported water-based Monza Red candidate is established. Preserve the source name and any bilingual Monza Red / Red Madder note without inventing code equivalence.
9. Neutral Gray. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Neutral Grey AK11018. The descriptive Neutral Grey candidate supports a neutral-gray approximation. Its bottle may also serve generic Gray while both ingredient names remain separate. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: matte.
10. Clear Green. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Clear Green AK11216. Clear Green is a named transparent water-based candidate. Exact source formulation and dried appearance are untested. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: transparent.
11. Flesh. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Basic Skin Tone AK11052. Basic Skin Tone supplies a generic flesh-color approximation. No measured likeness or skin tone is claimed. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: matte.
12. Middle Stone. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Middle Stone AK11124. Same descriptive Middle Stone name supports an approximate candidate; exact source formulation is unknown. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: matte.
13. Wood Brown. The previously reviewed AK Wood Base sample is pale beige/khaki and does not support this named brown. No defensible water-based variant is established.
14. Midnight Blue. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Strong Dark Blue AK11187. Strong Dark Blue has a very dark, near-black blue chart sample. It is an approximation to the Midnight Blue hue, distinct from Navy Blue; no manufacturer crosswalk is claimed. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: matte.

Optional supplies are recommendations for the tasks described above, not manufacturer-required purchases. The AK 3GEN thinner applies only to the AK 3GEN candidates. Do not paint materials the original warns against painting. Digital color squares are browsing aids; they do not prove dried color, pigment strength, sheen, metallic reflection, transparency or a successful mixture.
