Construction and optional painting

Michaelis uses PS runners with a PVC wire for the detachable Beam Bracer. Apply the chosen Bracer stickers before closing it, then use the included CE-1 stand for the wired display. The Bracer opens and rotates, and the beam-saber parts attach to the arms as shown.

The supplied decorations are stickers. Bandai recommends water-based paint, and the five reference recipes include a metallic purple sensor blend. The Action Base 5 shown supporting the mobile suit is sold separately.

Materials in the parts list: A: PS; B1: PS; B2: PS; C: PS; D: PS; CE-1: PS; SB6: PS; wire: PVC (1).

RLM75 gray is printed with Japanese RLM75 Gray Violet.

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 (White part): White 100% + Gray small dose.
2. Body (Gray part): RLM75 gray 70% + White 15% + Purple 10% + Red 5%.
3. Body (Purple part): Gray 40% + White 20% + Cobalt blue 20% + Purple 20%. Candidate recipe incomplete: Cobalt blue has no chosen store match.
4. Weapon (Gray part): Gray 90% + Black 10%.
5. Sensor (Metallic purple part): Silver 60% + Metallic red 30% + Metallic blue 10%.

Named ingredients and optional store candidates

9 mapped purchase cards and 1 disabled ingredient references cover all 10 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.

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. RLM75 gray. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic RLM 75 AK11826. Manufacturer identifies AK11826 as RLM 75; source spelling retained and formulation remains approximate. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: matte.
4. 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.
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. Cobalt blue. No candidate is chosen. The available AK Cobalt Blue is metallic, while this ingredient calls for an ordinary blue.
7. 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.
8. Silver. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Silver AK11209. Silver is a named metallic water-based candidate. Exact source formulation and dried appearance are untested. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: metallic.
9. Metallic red. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Foundry Red AK11203. Manufacturer Foundry Red is explicitly in the metallic range and has a red chart sample. Approximate metallic-red hue/effect candidate; particle size and dried reflectance untested. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: metallic.
10. Metallic blue. Approximate candidate: 3G Acrylic Metallic Blue AK11199. Manufacturer Metallic Blue preserves the named blue metallic effect; exact hue and metal particle behavior untested. Family: AK 3rd Generation. Finish/effect: metallic.

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.
