Shenlong Gundam EW

Notes

• 16-page manual (8 PDF spreads), no missing pages: assembly on pages 6–7 and 10–14 (steps 1–15); pages 2–3 are an article and general instructions, 4–5 the runner list, 8–9 articles and photos, 15 the marking sticker / decal guide, and the back cover is the colour guide. Steps 5, 8-7, 14-5 and 14-6 only join sub-assemblies.
• Runner XB comes twice; all others once. Polycaps are PC-205A (number 1 is crossed out, not used). C2 and D2 repeat C1 numbers 1–11 and D1 numbers 1–5: a code in brackets, e.g. C1-1 (C2-1), is the part for the other arm/leg.
• Checked against the runner page: every number is used and matches the pieces on the runners (the total counted from the runners is also 255). Runner XB has no numbers 3, 4 or 22. Only E-5: the runner drawing shows two pieces under one label but the manual uses one (step 1-3), so one is left over.
• Manual marks: ×2 = make two (already multiplied in); ◀▶ (反対側に取り付けるパーツ) = part for the opposite side, cut both; ▶|◀ (両側に同じパーツ) = the same part on both sides (H-3 in step 14-3); ◪ (どちらかを選んで) = choose one when assembling; ! = mind the orientation; nipper mark (切り取る) = cut off the marked bit of the part.
• Optional parts are counted because they are on the runners: alternative hands XA-1 / XA-5 (right) and XA-2 / XA-6 (left), trident-holding hands XA-10 (right) / XA-9 (left), E-8 (carry the trident on the back), C1-16 (standing pilot figure for display) and XA-11 (joint for the separately sold Action Base 1).
• Stickers are lettered ア–カ in the steps; marking stickers and Gundam decals follow page 15 of the manual.
