i can’t post the link for some reason. search perfect grade gundam and go to the gundam wikia result for the list of all PGs. the notes column have additional info on special releases and add-on parts.

it has a little transparency but opaque for the most part. looks like fluorescent orange paint to me. or it could just be a heavy coating of clear orange with flat coat. i don’t see any traces of a silver coat underneath though.

if you’re not sure of what’s in it and want to be safe, don’t let the airbrush soak in it for long. some people like to leave the cleaners in the airbrush or soak all the parts for a few hours or overnight for some serious cleaning but it might be bad for the seals depending on the cleaner components. it’s always better to clean while the paint is…[Read more]

i found the email address and instructions here:
but i guess it only worked back then and they even covered the replacement under the customer’s responsibility (in short, even if you broke it). it seems they’ve stopped and so i got that reply from them after a week or so. i was so bummed…
i was…[Read more]

don’t think this will happen anymore. from their email, bandai is setting up a online parts replacement system for those outside japan.
that’s why hlj and other places that did parts (genteikits etc) has stopped this service as well. that or it’s too much trouble (time and money) to be the middle man for it. they didn’t have to do it as the…[Read more]

@daverb , Thanks for sharing this mail with us! That would be awesome if Bandai will finally do this!
And how cool of you to write them an email. How did you get the email address if I may ask?
Sorry, I’m just curious as a cat 😉-

Damn as usual only Italy in Europe is granted this service.
In France we are a lot of Gunpla fans and it’s been years we’re relying on personal friends in Japan to get replacement parts. Each time we are sorry to disturb them with this so when I saw your topic I was like “YEAH FINALLY!”, then I watched the video and saw the email sample and was…[Read more]

i’m thinking of making dioramas out of my crappy 1/144s, probably the permanent glued together type. will remake the wing zero vs d-hell scene in space and the wing gundam self-destruct. not sure what to do with the altron.

i have the wing zero, epyon and all endless waltz hg 1/100 from the 90’s as well! also all the non-grade 1/144 of gundam wing. the hg 1/100 are a lot better than their crappy 1/144 counterparts… so much that i bought the updated hgac wing and wing zero and because i don’t think they’ll never be updated as model kits, the robot damashii…[Read more]

thanks! i’ll be adding the under side of the feet, backhand covers, thrusters, verniers and other necessary armor panels that are “non-maintenance” and will be displaying it as the frame for a while since i’ll be working on the decals on the outer armors xD

not sure how good reverse wash would work on this but you can give it a try. soak the cotton buds more than what you’d do for a proper reverse wash with the sinanju, for example. this way, the the paint kind of flows down to the base of the pods a little easier and reveal more of the missile pod heads.
