i think deathscythe looks great without decals just need abit of touching up with markers and he's good to go
or maybe i'm biased since i love wing kits

yeah, same opinion here. IMHO, some small decals will add some details on deathscythe. but large wordings like XXXG on the shoulder not really suitable for this fella.

IMHO ... best if got some decals and those black part are flat and high light on the yellow part i think it should look nice

agreed! i never quite fancied the XXXG numbers on the wing series' shoulders.. place like on DSHC's wings work though, since they're just a huge piece of black
however for these smaller kits without much bulk.. not so nice
not sure about heavyarms though.. i'll just go with the flow

yeap! due to lack of colors, some small decals would bring out the look better more depth and texture

bought some nice new paints
shiny metallic/clear-ish red over metallic silver
wonder how it will look on the Liaoya

what brand? bosny?

yeap Mr. DIY chrome silver, topped with Bosny montana red then top coated with Bosny gloss coat trying on the liaoya in a bit

You mean i put those decals not nice?

Nice try bro but the red.. is a little too dark .. next time try it lighter and also ... do masking, must kasi tekan kuat kuat.. on the plastic.. kalo tak.. the color boleh masuk ma haha... and also... the if belum 101% dry.. jangan tanggal masking tu..

haha.. yeap, this one i think have to prime and recolor later on.. thanks for the tips thing is the surface for the masking is not big enough (the yellow part) which is why i failed will try again later on lol.. the red looks quite nice though, shiny metallic, but does not suit the Liaoya

its individual preferences. dun worry, u can always build another one.

Added on July 19, 2012, 11:48 pmwell, i agree.

but when u buy a lot of kits, u need to open to check every plastic bags.
is kind of '!@#$%^&*()', need to check any broken piece and bad mold.

need to refer back to manual, to check the bad mold.
last time i have broken peg on waist part, i simply glue it back.
after glue the peg and assemble you will not notice it from outside.

kena also once with my MG destiny. the wing connector broken when i check the runner. luckily it is inner frame part, so i just super glue it and add some support at the back. it stay hidden bcoz its inner frame.

i got one broken V-Fin, caused by me, can show how to repair? btw, the broken part is missing.

with my gogo hi nu vevo I had an entire runner missing. When I bought it I checked by counting and got correct number of runners as indicated in the manual..only to find out at home that I had 2 D runners and no B...luckily the store I bought it from replaced it! Good thing it wasn't online order too, or I would've had to mail it back to get a replacement...lesson: when buying (from a store) check each runner individually - counting isn't enough!

yeap, it may be a bit tedious, but ALWAYS check everything thoroughly so that there's no problem
so far i haven't encountered any problems, even after checking thoroughly, i've been fortunate enough to not face any parts that require changing

i encounter 1 time, that i throw away the transparent runner that stuck inside plastic bag. Luckily can find it back...

for ur case, i think a lot of work to do. do u still have the runner plate?
cut off one part and trim until the part similar to the broken part and glue it back.

for my case, the v-fin broken half way, i can still see hanging there.

I think "ssl" did answer your question on how to fix the broken V-Fin.. I also broke mine, but I ask bro ascentic to help me fix it back.
