Hi guys, I have a problem which I would like to get your insight on. So I’m painting the HGBF Sengoku Astray and I have a problem with painting the parts separate colors with an airbrush. Would you have any tips on how to paint them, how to mask, and how to remove seam lines in small areas?The head specifically is causing me trouble because, I want to paint the red parts a titanium finish, remove the seam line from the two parts of the head, and paint the face guard gold but, I have no clue on how to paint them without messing up the other parts that are colored differently. The space is pretty small for me to paint with an airbrush and I fear that hand painting would not be even.
Please help! Any advice is greatly appreciated!
you can follow this mod for easier head painting especially for high grade models that have the seam line from putting the halves of the head together.

instead of using pin vise and rod, you can leave the area to be connected unpainted and glue in place after painting. just make sure there’s no rubbing when you insert the face section. otherwise, your nice paint will rub off near the cheeks…
