To attach it to the separately sold HG Gundam 00 Diver,
you'll need to remove the shoulder GN Drives and knee armor first.

Attached to the HG Gundam 00 Diver

There are some sink marks visible on the inside of the GN Diver Sword.

You can slide the shoulder parts onto the existing GN Sword II to recreate the Super GN Sword II.

The wings on the sides of the backpack can be extended in two stages.

With the joint parts, it can be used on other HGBD kits too.

The Diver Ace Unit has been released as the 36th Build Custom kit. It's essentially an upgrade parts set for the HGBD Gundam 00 Diver — you swap out the shoulder GN Drives and knee armor on the HG Gundam 00 Diver, then add the backpack and new weapons.

Since the colors and overall style are optimized for the Gundam 00 Diver, everything fits together really naturally without looking out of place. Along with the new Diver GN Sword II, there are also parts included that attach to the existing GN Sword II to recreate the Super GN Sword II. The backpack wings on both sides can be extended in two stages, and with all these extra weapons you can pull off some really dynamic poses.

Separate joint parts are also included for compatibility with other HGBD and HG-grade kits, though looking at the color scheme, it does feel like it might clash a bit on anything other than the Gundam 00 Diver.

Either way, if you've already got the HG Gundam 00 Diver, this seems like a fun little accessory kit to play around with. :-)
