• Head (gluing):
  
  This connection is pretty loose, but be careful not to get glue on the front “lens” part.
• Head (painting):
  
  Sure is a lot of white here. The jaw/seat pieces should probably have just been molded in another color, since only the teeth are meant to be white. The “ear” pieces need a little touching up too.
• Does anyone have a ruler?
  
  I could have saved an hour or so scrambling to find a ruler if I only knew that this diagram in the instructions was actual size. Well, now YOU know!
• I haven’t figured this one out yet:
  
  There needs to be some kind of gluing done here, because A10 and A7 pop out when trying to do some poses.
• Paint me:
  
  I’m going to be compelled to paint this gold, as I do with all such bits.
• Not sure about this:
  
  Gluing may be needed here (they pop off), but that could hinder future disassembly.
• Definitely glue here:
  
  You have to pull on that rocket to extend it, and it just pops off without glue.
• Beware:
  
  This piece (from the tail) is incredibly thin. It’s a miracle I didn’t break it just by looking at it.
• Upper arms:
  
  These are identical, until you put the cap on the appropriate side. Clever!
• Paint me too:
  
  Again with the silver/gold. At least there weren’t too many of these to do.
• A-and paint us too, while you’re at it:
  
  This Gundam Marker (GM09 “Gundam Eye Green”) works really well for all those pieces that need to be done green. Last pic: I thought I’d try an aurora sticker for the scope, but I’m not sure about it.
• Racing stripes:
  
  The note in the first pic about sticker #15 (a solid block of red) roughly translates to “have fun cutting them out freestyle, suckas!”
