Bay 02 is the RG Gundam Mk-II in A.E.U.G. colors, completed in the first week of November 2025 with the same workflow the RX-78 established: primer, airbrushed color, gloss coat, panel line, flat coat. The torso blue is a custom mix of GX2 Ueno Black and C328 Blue rather than the stock plastic tone, the whites are GX1 Cool White, and aftermarket photo-etch parts detail the backpack and thruster interiors, with the antenna in GX Blue Gold. Markings are aftermarket waterslide decals.

Honest log notes: the kit's fabric mesh tubing was fussier than expected, the gold sticker experiment around the elbow joints didn't earn its keep, and the C59 orange reads purer than the yellowish orange the scheme called for. The before/after above compares the finish against the out-of-box kit, and the full paint recipe follows below.
