The original has the slots in the GN drive (one in the front, one in the back) but none in the head like the 00 and quan[t].
However it doesn’t have a hole cut in the chest sticker (the one which goes under the clear green piece) which would allow for the light to pass through the small slot easily.
The GN drive can light up, front and back. The head does not light up. However, and this may have been just my MG Exia, the GN drive doesn’t hold together very well. Clear parts in it tend to fall inside of it(if there’s no LED unit). Still the kit over all is fantastic.
I haven’t decaled my kit yet. But I’m betting it will affect the gold coat. To what degree, I don’t know. But what I’m planning on doing is a gloss top coat first then decals, going light on the setter. then another gloss top coat.
Hoping for a speedy response to this question if possible because im really anxious to try my hand at water slides. i put a layer of clear acrylic gloss on the shoulder piece but im wondering if i need another coat or not. its very shiny but does not feel smooth and im worried that i might get silvering. let me know what you folks think
well I’m nota pro at waterslides but that doesn’t look smooth even in the photo so you probably should give it another coat at the very least, but really I’d think you’d probably want to do a bit of sanding too. as for whether or not it’ll give silvering, maybe you should use some of that mark softer stuff if you’re worried.
You should be Fine as long as you used some kind of gloss. It’s the type of coating that matters, not the state of the surface. I use “hammered” paints(they’re spray paints that create textured surfaces) a lot for different things, and I can actually apply water slides on that no problem without a high gloss coat(I prefer to use semi gloss).

I’m looking for a set of After market 1/144th scale hands for a couple customs I’m doing. I’ve got the hobby base mechanical hands, but those things are so fragile and the fingers wont stay put(and I don’t want to glue them into a pose), So i want to find a set of static pose hands that have a gripping hand,…[Read more]
does anyone know how to strip of primer. i screwed up some parts of my sazabi thinking that itll look ok even though the primer wasnt completely covered just like 75%covered. then i covered it up with red and it left with a grainy red. does anyone know how to strip that all of easily
the same paint thinner you’re using for your paint should work for your primer. also if the surface is smooth you could just sand it down. another note, there is something called tool cleaner, you run that through your airbrush to clean it up after use, don’t get those mixed up, tool cleaner is powerful stuff and will eat the plastic of your kit,…[Read more]
I’m not sure but I believe they make both, but if you don’t know which you have and want to take it off, lacour thinner should desolve an acrylic primer anyways.
theres a socket inside the gn drve for exia so it can light up the chest
Thanks btw I was pointing at the original mg Exia not the ignition mode, if the original kit have the place then Thank you thebanshee13

I ended up cutting out the hole in the sticker and now its way too bright , should have left it alone
