Gundam Sandrock EW

Notes

• 20-page manual (10 PDF spreads), no missing pages: runner list on pages 4–5, assembly on pages 6–9 and 12–18 (steps 1–15); pages 2 and 10–11 are articles, page 19 is the sticker/decal guide and the back cover is the colour guide. Step 5 (upper body) and steps 15-2, 15-3 and 15-5…15-8 only join sub-assemblies or show weapon handling.
• Runner XB comes twice; all other runners once. The runner list prints B1 and C1 while the steps print B and C (the site shows B1 and C1 as on the runner tags). Polycaps are PC-205A. Two runners are both labelled J: J (Silver) and J (Clear Red), the two Heat Shotel blade colours.
• Checked against the runner page: every number is used and matches the pieces on the runners. Crossed-out (unused) numbers: XA-22, XB-9 and XB-23 (both sheets), PC-1 (2 pieces). The manual was transcribed twice independently and both passes agree.
• Manual marks: ×2 = make two (already multiplied in); ◀▶ (反対側に取り付ける) = part for the opposite side of the SAME unit, so cut both, even in ×2 steps; ▸|◂ (両側に同じパーツを取り付ける) = the same part on both sides; ◪ = pick one; ! = mind the orientation; "do not cut off the marked tab" (切り取らないように注意) = a nub that looks like a gate but belongs to the part. Codes in brackets (D2-x, G2-x) are for the second unit.
• Optional parts are counted because they are on the runners: each hand has three interchangeable finger sets (right XA-7, XA-1, XA-5; left XA-8, XA-2, XA-6) plus the weapon grips XA-10 and XA-9; both Heat Shotel blade colours (two J-1 each); XA-11 (joint for the separately sold Action Base 1); D1-22 (standing pilot figure). Cutting only one blade colour leaves 287 parts.
• Colour stickers are lettered per step (ア…ケ); marking stickers and the Gundam decal follow page 19 of the manual.
