    recently i picked up the unicorn gundam code 852 version
    even though it is a stunningly beutiful kit, its not undergated so obviously i want to at least hide the nub marks alittle bit by adding a dash of gold on the nubs but my problem is what kind of gold would be close to the gold they have on the unicorn???

    • I’ve looked up some pictures of the “Hong Kong” Ver.Ka. Unicorn and it looks like a very light “gold” plating.
      I would try a dot of silver and a tiny drop of clear yellow, not the normal mix of yellow and orange.
      Before i knew of this mix, I used normal clear yellow on top of silver and it turned out really light instead of a, if you will, deeper yellow/gold. Try it out on a piece of plaplate or a runner and see how it compares to the lighter gold on the kit.

    • It looks similar to the gold on the Hyaku Shiki, maybe you could try to flat coat some regular Tamiya Gold leaf or Gold gundam Marker on a spare piece or empty runner from the 852, then see how the close the golds look.

      • Actually @teetee580 the gold is darker than u think its more of a hyaku shiki gold i thought that too when i saw it but i was wrong
        Although trying it on the runner or something is a good idea to do thanks guys
