Zeta Gundam

Notes

• 2000 manual (cover reads Ver.1.0), 24 assembly pages. Step numbers restart at ① in every unit (arm, leg, head…), so steps are written page-step: 6-3 is step ③ on page 06.
• 40 runner sheets: C, E, H, I, M, P, Q, R, U and X come ×2, all others ×1. The manual prints A⑯, B⑨, L③ without the sheet number; the list uses the real sheets: A1 (parts 1–19), A2 (20–27), B1 (1–6), B2 (7–12), L1 (1–2), L2 (3–4).
• Checked against the runner pages: every number on every runner is used. Many numbers have 2–4 pieces on one sheet (e.g. F-3, G-7, Q-3, V-3, W-11, X-31). Runner X: the manual says X-64 to X-81 each have one spare piece, so each of those is cut once.
• The Waverider transformation reuses the built parts. Waverider-only parts: G-4 and J-6 ×2 in step 16-7 (mounting the three pre-assembled landing gears). The transformation itself is in a separate Transformation Manual, not in this assembly manual.
• Optional parts are counted: K-6 and K-7 (hold the light-up beam saber in the left or right hand) and the two unnumbered Z beam blades (step 24-2).
• Not counted (in the box, not cut from runners): screws, springs, metal battery contacts, 5 LEDs (A ×2, B, C, D), the special LED of the light-up beam saber, lead wires, tubes, 3 pre-assembled landing gears, the BR435 pin battery. To light the LEDs, buy CR1220 ×2 and LR44 ×2 cells.
• Light-shield stickers ア, イ, ウ go on in steps 17-2 and 18-3. This manual gives no per-step positions for the marking stickers.
