Fujimi did some lambo

sorry, my reply might be late.
red and yellow is especially less opaque than other colors so is sensitive to underneath colors.
even primer (gray) itself will change the hue of red/yellow.
u either need 2-3 coats gunze's white base/ or white surfacer, or jus white to make sure before being spray wt red, the surface must be white or near white.

i'm guessing u'd primed the parts, where some parts u may have applied more layers than the others due to the reason u stated, dat's why u get diff colors of red. this is becoz of the grey primer.
anyway, red under grey primer never show up well. no matter how many layers.
or if u didn't primed, i assumed the body color is dark enuf to affect ur italian red.

stripping paint is a tedious job, unless the kit u building is ur favorite and rare kit, otherwise just leave it lor.
start wt new kit is better , less fuss

it's not about rm40 being big or no big diff.
it's about paying wat u getting.

of course getting stuff fr ebay fr unknown sellers will always associate wt risk but there so many wellknown online sellers fr japan and hk.
and those link are in this very subforum.

seriously.. paying 120 for a 80 worth kit is a downright cut throat.
unless the stuff is really rare (but not much rare stuff selling in shops here honestly)

by the way, Miniature hobby at pj section 14, near digital mall, just above sushi king is having yer end sales. up to 40% sales for some revell kit. u might wanna go drop by for a look.

toycity aint doing scalemodel kit biz anymore, as they have stop distribution rights wt tamiya and only bring other brands, with very less amount.. prices are 20-30% more expensive than what i would normally pay for. yes, after discount their kit is only not-expensif-to-buy.
their cheap-stuff kits already long-long-long gone kena sapu when their 1st started their buy1free1 sales.

btw.. i just lazy to add emoticon.. not angry.. just that newcomers are noob, unaware of the of the market availability and options available.
so it's better to let them know what is around and let them decide..
