It’s looking good – are you planning on painting?. And is it going to be fresh-off-the-line or weathered?
Are you in a position to scribe some extra lines on the more plainish of the panels – if weathered they should look good even without more lines – if freshly painted look they might look a bit monochromatic and flat. You can still put very subtle highlights on the edges and such even if freshly painted – just tint your base color with maybe 10 to 20 % white or mix with a lighter red or orange something in the same family on the color wheel.
I don’t know if you plan to disassemble if you paint but you can also do contrasting tints on different body – like the lighter and darker panels I see on Sinanjus and Sazabis. A lot I think will come down to your paint plan.
I like weathering because it hides a lot of small issues and mistakes…and helps with realism.
Also you can paint a slightly darker tint in the deeper parts to bring out the depth even for non battle damaged – just be cautious of using straight black – you might want something like paynes grey.

Just my opinions as food for thought – don’t want to suggest that this is the only way to do stuff…

And at the risk of too many opinions – I wouldn’t panel line with black – again maybe grey?

I’ll be doing it fresh in a light green with dark green as the secondary, ivory highlights, dark gray frame, and metallic details. I’m going to try preshading for the first time. I can scribe but I was also considering adding detailed pla plate on those flatter areas the way I added details to the surface of the wing binders. I have a paint plan worked up that I’ll post in my next WIP. I’m not sure if I’ll panel line with black but I think it might look best with greens I’m going with. I’m still on the fence about decals or not.

sounds very cool – I’m interested to see that color scheme. I see a lot of models especially VerKa that have a million decals – not sure that I’m a fan. I’m going to do at least one that way but I really don’t see the reason to have quite so many. I think a few decals, especially well places decals, can add to it. Each decal I do seems to take like 5 minutes…

My colors are based of the Liger Zero Panzer. I might do some stripes or some other patterns by cutting masking tape. I’m a bit worried about clutter since this is a HG. Any suggestions for types of decals I should go for? I’m on the fence on whether I should include any “technical designations” like letters and numbers, or if I should just go with some kind of animal motif symbol.

Benzaaaaaaaa!
