Construction and optional painting

Beguir-Beu includes the paired bayonet weapons, non-kinetic pods, PVC wire and clear pod-display support parts. Cut the supplied wire into two lengths to suit the pose, following the attachment diagrams. Assemble the wing interiors with their stickers already in place before closing the outer panels.

The model uses PS parts and supplied stickers. Model nippers are the basic assembly tool; tweezers and a cutter suitable for the wire can help with the small details. Painting is optional and Bandai recommends water-based paint. An Action Base 5 for supporting the whole model is sold separately.

Materials in the parts list: PS runners A, B, C, D, E, F and clear CE-1 support parts; PVC wire supplied.

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

4 printed roles use 9 distinct named ingredients. 4 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.

1. Body white: White 100% + Gray small dose.
2. Body light purple: White 70% + Purple 25% + Cobalt Blue 5% + Black small dose. Candidate recipe incomplete: Cobalt Blue has no chosen store match.
3. Body blue purple: Purple 55% + White 25% + Blue 10% + Black 10%.
4. Sword light green: White 50% + Emerald Green 20% + IJA Gray (2) 20% + Lime Green 10% + Black small dose. Candidate recipe incomplete: IJA Gray (2) has no chosen store match.

Named ingredients and optional store candidates

7 mapped purchase cards and 2 disabled ingredient references cover all 9 named ingredients. Mapped cards represent 7 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. Gray. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Neutral Grey AK11018. Neutral Grey is a generic gray approximation; it does not define the distinct named Neutral Gray source as an identical formulation. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: matte.
3. 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.
4. Cobalt Blue. AK11201 Cobalt Blue is explicitly in the metallic range. The source ordinary Cobalt Blue does not establish a metallic effect, so that candidate is rejected.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Emerald Green. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Emerald AK11144. Emerald is the standard opaque green candidate. The separately sold Emerald Metallic Green is expressly rejected for this ordinary color. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: matte.
8. IJA Gray (2). The numbered IJA Gray (2) source distinction is unresolved. IJN and IJA gray products are not interchanged.
9. Lime Green. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Lime Green AK11137. Lime Green is a named opaque water-based candidate. Exact source formulation and dried appearance are untested. 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.
