Choose the feature you want to see
SD Gundam EX-Standard Gundam Aerial 4573102630315 documents separated shield parts attaching at the shoulders, alongside a rifle, saber, shield and stickers. That makes it a useful pick for someone whose preferred display emphasises an expanded upper-body outline. The interest here is a particular arrangement described for this kit, not a claim that every Aerial model supplies the same connections.
The HG 1/144 Aerial 4573102630308 has its own documented eleven separable Bit Staves and assembly choices for the shell-unit appearance. Keep those descriptions beside their respective product numbers. Eleven parts in the HG description must not become an invented contents count for the SD box.
Leave the final pose open
Save the shoulder arrangement as a display preference, then consult the actual SD instructions during assembly. The official descriptions do not establish joint strength, support requirements or how long a configuration will remain stable. This selection is about choosing a documented visual possibility, with the finished positioning still to be resolved.
