One odd thing..
The beam shield unit's mounting point is offset to one side.

The manual says to mount it tilted upward..

But both finished display examples have it facing downward..???

It feels like even Bandai doesn't have a clear standard here.
All things considered, I think it looks best with the side skirt unit facing downward and the forearm unit facing upward.

Together with the 1991 1/100 Gundam F90 V Type.

This is the MG Gundam F90 Mission Pack R & V Type, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. As the name suggests, it's a combined kit featuring two mission packs — the R Type (Reconnoiter) and the V Type (V.S.B.R.) — designed to attach to the separately sold MG Gundam F90.

First up, the R Type is equipped with gear optimized for intelligence gathering and battlefield recording, fitting its reconnaissance role. The shoulders get a large stealth armor, while the forearms come with a deployable camera unit that can be recreated in its launched state using a lead wire. The camera unit itself is lightweight and the lead wire is sturdy, so it holds its pose pretty well when deployed. That said, the mounting point is a bit loose and tends to spin around, so trimming the wire down a little will give you a more stable display.

The V Type is a testbed configuration for the V.S.B.R. (Variable Speed Beam Rifle), which would later be officially adopted on Gundam F91. The VSBRs mounted on the backpack can be rotated forward for use, and the grips can be positioned flexibly in all directions, so connecting them to the arms isn't much of a hassle.

Beyond the VSBRs, the V Type comes loaded with a ton of other weapons — two beam shield units, an additional beam saber unit, a mega beam Gatling gun, and a new beam rifle. The shoulders and legs also each get three stabilizer/heat sink fins, though only the leg fins are actually articulated. The three thruster covers on the back of the leg unit also move individually, and both the fins and covers hold their positions well once posed. One thing to note: as mentioned in the review photos above, the placement of the two beam shield units is shown in completely opposite orientations between the manual and the finished display photos, which is pretty confusing. I'd say just go with whatever looks good to you.

So this is a combined kit pairing the straightforward R Type with the generously packed V Type, and since it comes with more content than other mission packs, the price is ¥300 higher. The V Type in particular has long been one of the most iconic and flashy mission packs for the F90, so I'd say this one is a bit more recommended than the others. :-)
