Original painting recipes, materials and builder choices
Construction and optional painting
Build the Type.GBFT Full Cloth version with its removable cloak, Core Fighter and interchangeable hands and head options. The weapons include the Peacock Smasher, Muramasa Blaster, Buster Gun and Beam Zanber combination, beam shields, beam sabers and heat daggers. Action Base 2 is sold separately.
Apply the foil stickers as shown. The manual’s optional weathering tip uses Real Touch Marker Set 1 and cotton swabs on the skull and crossbone relief; those supplies are sold separately. Bandai recommends water-based paint, and all eight optional recipes retain their printed mixes, including the small Russet addition in the Peacock Smasher color.
Materials in the parts list: PS parts; PE PC-002 polycaps.
Japanese Indy Blue is uncoded; no modern numbered Bright Blue equivalence is established.
Russet represents Japanese Azuki color.
Optional Real Touch Marker Set 1: The original recommends this set for skull and crossbone weathering. No current store product is chosen. Reference only; no purchase option is selected.
Optional cotton swabs for weathering: The original uses cotton swabs with the optional Real Touch Marker finishing method. No store product is chosen. Reference only; no purchase option is selected.
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
8 printed roles use 12 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
9 mapped purchase cards and 3 disabled ingredient references cover all 12 named ingredients. Mapped cards represent 9 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Orange Yellow. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Golden Yellow AK11041. Golden Yellow supplies a warm yellow-orange approximation, distinct from Orange and Yellow. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: matte.
- 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.
- Indy Blue. No independently supported water-based Indy Blue hue/formulation is established. A similarly named blue or inferred H/C code is not used.
- 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.
- 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.
- Russet. The printed Russet ingredient remains distinct from Red brown and Cocoa brown. A matching shade is not established.
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.
