The 1/72-scale plastic model features new mold colors intended to match the anime\u0026#39;s color scheme more closely than the original kit. The gold weapons-the custom gatling gun, custom beam launcher, and side thrusters-are molded in two different gold tones. Clear parts now come in clear green and colorless clear plastic, letting builders paint their own preferred clear color.
