*This color guide use Flat Black compare to Semi Gloss Navy Blue and Gloss Aircraft Gray in Marie's color guide. Advisable to use Mr. Metal Primer since the only leg is made of metal.


Last reissued by IMAI in 2000.The latest retail price is 1500円 but exclude the cardboard box. IMAI exist until 2002 and sold most of her model kit molds (including Genesis Climber MOSPEADA) to アオシマ/Aoshima. 

Interesting facts, Paul's commander helmet never shown in the animation but R. Brown did wear the commander helmet in the animation. Paul attain the rank of colonel in the animation but Imai print lieutenant in the art box, instruction and model kit. Paul's 1/12 scale early prototype was color in Gloss Silver instead of Gloss Pale Green. Imai also set Paul as left handed. Reissue version reprint as "Paul" instead of "Poul". Nevertheless, IMAI did a good job in issuing this model kit.
