It's not what you can call 'cheap' if it came from Toys'R'Us, but still, RM13.90 is not that big of a deal. at least these Entry Grades can be used as a bashing kit, or for display where it is 'vulnerable'

one thing for sure, it sure need a lot of painting/touch-ups.. maybe can be used as testbed for building up painting skills?

some tips to share..

if want to paint clear color using gundam marker, dont shake the pen before use... slowly apply on clear part and dont paint it too thick...it wont have clear effect if you do that

p/s: this is only work with Red color
maybe metallic color will have same effect too but i dont have that colour to test


those who want to weathering the kit with cheap alternative can use only a can of matte top coat
the trick is spray the kit on less sunny day(maybe on late afternoon) or low temperature


^notice the whitish effect on the backpack? it is only use with a can of top coat... 2 in 1 use
at least you dont need to waste the top coat twice when weathering



currently building my Acguy

silicon spray boleh i think...
coz i've tried it, it didn't effect the panel line...

what I mean is wipe off the marker completely

more pics of GFF Metal Composite RX-78-2 (The Origin)

Can't wait for its anime

hehehe my bad but my post refer to cleaning...hehehe

if im nt mistaken the blue type black colour gundam marker is water based rite? if so, leave it overnight in water

if the by 'blue type' you mean the panel liner, I think it's oil based... and I don't think it'll come off easily only by using water

gundam marker remover can do the job, if the panel line is too deep to be reach by marker remover, drip a drop of alcohol/nail polisher remover or modelling thinner/leveling thinner then use cotton or tissue to wipe it

thats the whitish effect most of us r trying to avoid
