Hi planning on my first MG kit. “Astray Red Frame Kai”
I have a few questions.
1. Is it advisable to apply decals/panel lining/top coat per build (head/arm/torso), or do you build all first before you apply the said things. (no plans on painting)
2. Is it advisable to use cement to hide gaps when connecting two parts?
It is advisable to do panel lining and such per build/limb. It grands you more access especially when doing top coat. I even do decals, panel lining and top coat per part (I paint the armour and frame). It helps if I do want to have a shine metallic like frame and dull weathered armour. When it comes to applying decals, this can be a…[Read more]

That looks really great!!! Was thinking of painting mine blue too with silver sleeves, so good choice 😀

About the photo booth, to me it makes no difference, it’s all about the model and tells me all the funds went into the kit 😉 If you really want, you could…[Read more]

I was wondering why cant I find this kit on Japanese hobby stores. They sell it on Mandarake but with the price higher than the price written on the box.
