The 1/144 Meteor and RG Freedom build begins! Paint scheme will be metallic purple, gunmetal, and some sort of super light grey(matte). Am building out of order, as I want to get through the seam removal first. Then I will paint all the purple and gunmetal parts next. Last will be painting the grey(something Im not really looking forward to).
Seams are bloody huge, as are the pieces themselves. Originally inteneded to leave the white/grey pieces unpainted, but it seems as if I will have to paint it now due to the huge seams and nub marks.
Today I started on the two thrusters which were alright. The two purple side guns and the two huge arms have a seam going down the length. These I will have to fill, etc.

And the issues.

Little hard to see, but there is overrun on most parts lol.

The round parts in the circle are not supposed to be there. Its supposed to be flat.

The seams youre gonna be looking forward to! I have cemented the parts so that I can remove the seams for painting.

Crazy flash overrun

This is a kit which will take some work. If you dont want to paint, then most of the seams will be visible, and I would advise that this is not the sort of kit for you. Wonder how much better the 1/100 Nightingale would seem. And I wonder how bad the PG Strike is gonna be when I get around to building it.
