Each bit has a specific orientation when attaching, so you'll want to follow the manual carefully.
That said, it's all for your own enjoyment, so feel free to just plug them in however you like. :-)

You can recreate that brief final attack scene from the battle with Kicheroga in episode 12.

This kit is an expansion set for the HG Red Gundam, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's an option parts package for the HG Red Gundamreleased as a standard retail kit, and it comes packed with plenty of content to recreate every scene featuring the Red Gundam.

First off, while the main kit only included 2 bits, this expansion adds 4 more — bringing the total to 6, so you can recreate scenes where all the bits are deployed at once. On top of that, newly sculpted triangular joint parts are included to combine three bits together, and once you get the orientation right, they lock onto the Red Gundam's shoulders nice and securely. There's also a general-purpose clear mini stand included, so you can split all 6 bits up and display them individually as well.

For weapons, HG White Gundam's Gundam bazooka is included, along with the HG Zaku (GQ)'s Zaku bazooka. On top of that, newly sculpted hand parts and beam parts are included to recreate specific scenes from the show — with these, you can have fun recreating the salute scene from the final episode 12, or the beam saber attack that parodies the Last Shooting.

All in all, this is a really well-rounded set that covers a wide range of scenes and configurations from the Red Gundam's story. If you enjoyed the Giquax anime, this looks like a great option kit to build alongside the HG Red Gundam. :-)
