Duh, something wrong with my PC, can't upload pic sad.gif
Nevermind, try to explain the best I could: first you need the remove the white fuel pod from the rifle.
After that, you need to glue the hand, the rifle and the thumb together. Lastly, adjust the hand position so that it can join with the arm.
Hope this helps smile.gif

Probably it's the type of glue you're using, mine is the Tamiya Extra Thin Cement hmm.gif

i'm using tamiya cement too, but it's just that the rifle cannot stick to the hand properly.. i think i will reapply and leave it to dry overnight and see if there is any improvement
*
Can try that, at least you had to make sure they're sticking completely. Also notice how I position the hand with the arm...
did you have problem inserting the hand into the arm/wrist? I found it to be too tight, so what I did is file off some from the joint to make it loose, very loose, and then, glue it (again) tongue.gif

Plan to put Sinanju rifle instead (yeah I have unassembled one tongue.gif )

Lucky you noticed early, but then, sooner or later, you'll face the problem again, the problem is still with the hand smile.gif
Original rifle no good meh? Sinanju's better?

Nightingale question: how to insert those little metal thrusters? It's different from the bigger ones. Only realized this when I want to put them in this morning.....

the smaller ones? you have to glue the small metal rod (insert the thinner area in through the top, not through the inside of the thruster)
you have to glue it, otherwise it will keep popping out.. then u should have a thruster that looks something like the black ones they provided.. then you insert the red part into the thruster and push the thruster into the slot until it fits.. all of the thrusters for my nighty fit very snugly without any glue
*
Oh, but I don't feel like gluing to metal thrusters leh cry.gif
but then, I believe there's no other way is it?
and the tamiya cement doesn't work on metals right?

just apply some glue because the metal rod is loose.. i'm not sure if cement will work since the rods don't really come in contact with the thrusters all that well.. the glue was just to give it a bit bigger surface area so it can fit into the thrusters.. don't worry though, you won't see the glued part laugh.gif
*
cry.gif then there's no choice lor if I want to insert those thrusters cry.gif
thanks for the advise smile.gif

yes, it really is quite fun.. just quite a lot of FUUUUU parts u have to be prepared for.. but like some of them here said.. the completion of such a kit is very satisfying laugh.gif
*
Agree smile.gif
Not to mention panel lining and AB part, just the snap-fit process already having a lot of bumps along the way.
But after all the hard work, you can sit back, relax and enjoy the sight of this monstrous kit biggrin.gif

Very nice, but don't know why, I don't like MkII....
But then, if you AB it in such a way, you have to display it without it's outer armor, then it will be......magnificent thumbup.gif

Since you already AB the inner frame, why not AB the outer armor as well? Looks nicer isn't it? As what I mentioned a few post back, because you've done such a great job for the frame, it will only looks nice if you display it with half armor. The outer armor covers the frame too much, in my opinion. Anyway, very nice job done on ABing smile.gif

One quick question: I'm thinking of spraying the nightingale too, instead of AB, and I don't want to keep it red, any recommendations? I'm thinking of black with gold panel lines, to match its decals. Opinions pls.

yo onnylam!
i do think black with gold panel lines is a great idea.
and make it gloss or shiny.
that would be awesome! drool.gif

OK, but the thing is, is it possible with spray cans? I know with AB this will not be a problem, but since I don't have AB set, need to try lo.
Please advise, thanks smile.gif

it is bro! ive been spray can painting my pirated kit for a while.
the best brand for me is Anchor.
works well with bootleg.
u can try Anchor Black, its glossy and shiny.
then buy some Tamiya Enamel Gold and Zippo Lighter Fluid to do the
gold panel lining if u want. or just touch it up with
Artline Gold 990xf. works well with bootleg also!
then topcoat it with Anchor Clear (gloss topcoat)

i think it would look nice. but try it on some unused model first,
to see how it goes.

hope it helps.
and post ur finished work here la, so that otai2 here can give more opinion.  biggrin.gif  thumbup.gif

wow, very detailed suggestions, thank you very much indeed, will try it as soon as I can find them.
Not sure if can find the Anchor brand here in JB, will Mr Hobby's produce the same effect?
