I agree most likely bootleg. The description is about Gundam AGE btw. also you may note the white spot in the upper right corner of the pic, that was likely a logo they blanked out when they bootlegged it. so yeah chances of it being legit aren’t very high.
howdy, have a quick question here, how do you remove those gate marks after cutting a part with sandpaper and which gloss/metallic colour is good for the char red and pink as i am using it on the zaku amazing to give it the shine(and if possible, a spray can version)?
does anyone know how to make a mettalic finish on a gundam specifically the white color idk how to make it like one of those strike freedom extra finishes on the white parts
by semi clear gloss I’m assuming you mean a clear coat with a semi gloss finish, and in that case it most definitely will effect the shine. You’ll end up with a semi gloss finish

I know this isn’t what you wanted to hear but honestly I don’t think it’s really possible to tell from a pic only guess at what may be close, and in all likely hood the exact color is probably a mix of colors which makes it pretty much impossible to tell unless the person who did that kit tells you themselves what paints they mixed together.
Could go brown on the red sections and grey for any white if you don’t want it to be dominated by panel lines, all black for really highlighting and an anime look…
I say try testing with what you got on a few pieces that are easily fixed and see what you think looks good, it is your kit afterall…just saying 🙂
the thing with most colors is they’re not precise, for instance go to Wikipedia and search something like navy blue and you’ll see something like 5 different shades all called navy blue “madder red” is the same way so what Tamiya calls madder red may not be an exact match to what Mr.Color calls madder red, but then again it just turn out to be the…[Read more]
Hey just wanna ask, why HLJ often dont get P-Bandai online Shop Exclusive releases?? i think many goods kits are release exclusively but not available here in hlj.
I can only offer my theory, they are a japanese based retailer, and those p-bandai online exclusives are…p-bandai only exclusives, sold DIRECTLY through them and them only.
Other dealers like gentei kits gginfinite etc are just odd operations (gg is american if i remember correctly) that just order from the site and then re-sell at a mark…[Read more]
Just about any hg will do, pick a design you like, but be aware bigger more complicated designs will up the build difficulty…example, the old hguc rx-78-2 or the gm are super easy, but the unicorn gundam in destroy mode may be a bit intimidating…and do avoid the dendrobium (at least in 1/144 scale) LOL
