i agree with the accuracy statement since the red really looked good. One a good note though, i was able to reproduce the effect of the promo images with a red sharpie. just a thick coat of sharpie on the back of the piece and the color is close enough for me. Paint might not work since the part needs to flex to be assembled.
i put up a nice comparison pic, and you can really tell the difference. Also ive been finding more and more appealing to try and panel line this guy… possibly a flat dark red. not sure though
I finished mine a few weeks ago and it’s pretty good. The shoulders have most of the issues where the pre molded shoulder joint is a bit stiff. The other is that there is a panel that slides off the upper arm of you move it too much.
These are really minor issues and it’s a great kit.
Thanks heaps @corn-wizard. Yeah the Mk. II is probably still my favorite RG.
That sucks though, mine feels pretty secure because the hole for the peg is pretty tight. But thanks heaps for watching and glad you liked it!
Hello guys, I just wanted to share my experience with the RG world, actually that is all the expirience I have with Gunpla overall xD, I got into the hobby and did not know what I was getting into and bought a RG Freedom without knowing, but it turned out great!, based on guides and several other modelers, I found that it is not recommended for…[Read more]
Thank you for your reply! hey, and what if I reuse the stickers after panel lining and then use a top coat, are they still going to peel off easily? Is there any problem in doing panel lining over stickers?
The sticker will stay on if you topcoat it but you’d have to be careful of air bubbles under the sticker, as that’s an issue with reusing them.
Panel lining then applying a sticker works fine but I’m not sure about physically going over the sticker. Your best bet would be to cut the sticker along the panel line and then line it.
Thank you for all that information, I think I will do that, I was looking into the option of buying aftermarket decals for it and use those instead after panel lining but could not find any for the RG Freedom only for the Strike Freedom 🙁
they are pink, but im trying out ways to get that red color from the promo images. i’ll let u know if i have any luck
Ah thank you for the confirmation! Guess we could do a coat of clear red?
But kinda disappointing to have inaccurate promo pics.

Nice work. Looking forward to pics!
