Clear parts for the forearm area.
Since there's not much molding on the inside of the armor, you can see right through to the interior pretty easily.

As you might have already guessed, the clear parts from these two kits are designed so they can be concentrated onto one side.

If you combine the special clear parts from the First 2.0 and GM v2.0, you can apply the clear treatment more intensively to a single kit
...but it's a bit of a concentrated effort.

The special clear parts runner included with the GM v2.0 is actually a reuse of the runner from the First 2.0.
So it's possible to add the GM v2.0's special clear parts as a bonus to the First 2.0,
but doing the reverse — applying all of the First 2.0's clear parts to the GM v2.0 — gets a bit tricky.

The GM v2.0's special clear parts all swapped over to the First v2.0.
Combining the clear parts from both kits lets you clear out quite a large surface area.

This kit is an MG exterior clear parts version released to commemorate Gundam's 30th anniversary. It's essentially the same contents as the original kit, with just one extra clear runner added. In other words, it lets you choose between standard armor and clear armor for certain exterior parts, so for the basic kit features please refer to the normal version review — this review only covers the added clear parts.

MG GM v2.0 Review

◆ Areas of Application and Effect

Both forearms, thighs, the backs of the legs, and the top-of-foot armor have been made clear. The molding on the inside of the armor is relatively simple, but the transparency is high enough that you can see the inner frame quite well. It seems like having the clear treatment applied consistently to both sides looks better than an awkward half-and-half approach.

◆ Difficulty of Swapping Parts

As long as you're a little careful when removing the foot area, the rest disassembles and reassembles without much trouble at all.

◆ Overall Impressions

Since the clear treatment is applied consistently to both bicep areas, thighs, and the foot surroundings, it gives a fairly balanced and cohesive look. The clear parts runner included with the GM v2.0 is a reuse of the one from the First 2.0, meaning you can pool both special clear runners into one kit. Just like with the Zaku 2.0 mass production type and Char's custom, it feels like a marketing strategy (written as "strategy," read as "upselling") designed to get you to combine both kits.

That said, since the clear runner in this kit is based on the First 2.0, there's no problem pooling the clear parts over to the First 2.0 side — but you can't apply both clear runners to the GM side. The skirt and knee designs on the First 2.0 are different, so inevitably only the arm and partial leg clear parts can be transferred over to the GM v2.0. Just something to keep in mind.
