Construction and optional painting

Build Arche with the GN Buster Sword, GN Shield, beam sabers and deployable GN Fangs, then follow the shown Core Fighter transformation. The sword changes between sword and rifle modes. Use the foil stickers as marked; the illustrated Action Base and Gundam Throne Zwei are sold separately.

Bandai recommends water-based paint. Retain all nine optional recipes, including the Fluorescent Pink ingredients, the Clear Red beam-saber finish and the small Purple addition in the joint-brown mixture.

Materials in the parts list: PS parts; PE PC-001 polycaps.

Fluorescent Pink and Clear Red describe essential optical qualities and must not be replaced by opaque ordinary colors.

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

9 printed roles use 13 distinct named ingredients. 7 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.

3. Joints brown: White 80% + Dark Earth 15% + Pink 5% + Purple small dose.
4. Body yellow: Yellow 60% + White 30% + Orange 10%.
5. Beam saber red: Clear Red 100%.
6. Chest purple: Purple 60% + Fluorescent Pink 30% + White 10%.
7. Shoulder pink: Pink 80% + White 20%.
8. Buster sword interior red: Monza Red 100%. Candidate recipe incomplete: Monza Red has no chosen store match.
9. Buster sword interior gray: Midnight Blue 90% + White 10%.

Named ingredients and optional store candidates

12 mapped purchase cards and 1 disabled ingredient references cover all 13 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. 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.
2. Wine Red. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Wine Red AK11096. Wine Red is a dark wine-red opaque candidate supported by the manufacturer name and red-brown chart sample; the dried hue and mixtures remain untested. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: matte.
3. 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.
4. Fluorescent Pink. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Flourescent Magenta AK11068. Fluorescent Magenta offers a pink-magenta fluorescent approximation. The primary manufacturer identifies its fluorescent semi-transparent resin; its hue and fluorescence strength may differ. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: fluorescent.
5. 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.
6. Dark Earth. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic RAF Dark Earth AK11841. RAF Dark Earth provides a named earth-brown candidate. The source does not specify an RAF standard. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: matte.
7. Pink. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Pastel Pink AK11059. Pastel Pink supplies a pale pink approximation; source pigment strength is unknown. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: matte.
8. Purple. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Purple AK11073. Purple is a named opaque water-based candidate. Exact source formulation and dried appearance are untested. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: matte.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Clear Red. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Clear Red AK11213. Clear Red is a named transparent water-based candidate. Exact source formulation and dried appearance are untested. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: transparent.
12. 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.
13. 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.
