Construction and optional painting

Trim the marked under gates on the A runner, and choose the shell-unit stickers before closing the head, body and cannon parts. Lfrith Thorn uses PS runners with a supplied sticker sheet. Follow the alternative sticker choices on the Phased Array Cannon.

The kit includes the Beam Diffuse Gun, two forearm saber effects, alternative hands and a shield that can be mounted on either arm. Bandai recommends water-based paint. The brown recipe prints Red madder in English and Monza Red in Japanese. The Action Base 5 shown in the instructions is sold separately.

Materials in the parts list: A: PS (with under gates); B: PS; C: PS; D: PS; E: PS; SB-13: PS.

Body brown: printed English Red madder appears with Japanese Monza Red.

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

5 printed roles use 10 distinct named ingredients. 5 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 (Brown part): Wood brown 90% + Red madder 10%. Candidate recipe incomplete: Wood brown, Red madder has no chosen store match.
2. Body (Gray part): Gray 70% + Black 30%.
3. Body (White part): White 90% + Neutral gray 10%.
4. Body (Red part): Orange 50% + Shine red 50%. Candidate recipe incomplete: Shine red has no chosen store match.
5. Sensor (Green part): Metallic green 50% + Clear yellow 50%.

Named ingredients and optional store candidates

7 mapped purchase cards and 3 disabled ingredient references cover all 10 named ingredients. Mapped cards represent 6 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. Wood brown. No supported Wood Brown candidate is chosen. The available Wood Base sample is pale beige/khaki.
2. Red madder. No supported candidate is chosen for this Red madder shade, paired with Monza Red in the original Japanese label.
3. 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.
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. 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.
6. 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.
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. Shine red. No candidate is chosen that supports both the named Shine Red shade and its shine.
9. Metallic green. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Metallic Green AK11205. Metallic Green is a named metallic water-based candidate. Exact source formulation and dried appearance are untested. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: metallic.
10. Clear yellow. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Clear Yellow AK11217. Clear Yellow is a named transparent water-based candidate. Exact source formulation and dried appearance are untested. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: transparent.

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.
