Its not armor against frame, since when that has been a problem? Armor pieces and frame pieces comes separately we can paint it separately. Keyword here
separately, what u r proposing with this
single frame pieces is every frame is
molded into 1, all moving pieces is inside
preassembled and u cant remove it. U dun c the problem with that?
If u paint the expose part, when u move it around the unpainted unexpose portion will now be expose...... U dun seem to understand this, let me illustrate it for u:

take note on the circle part
Also since when we r not suppose to paint the inner frame? If u hav a SF with puke gold do u to just suck it up and live with it or do u improve it? This whole "don't think bandai really wants us to paint the whole inner frame" argument is not valid ever since tey release ps frame that r meant to be paint friendly. U think Bandai will dump this in just 5 month on the shelf?
Also since when spending time on a kit hindered any of us from buying more? If thats the case the backlogs wouldn't hav existed in the 1st place now would tey if every1 buys only after they completed their kit.
Admiral, you are right. I definitely will paint my SF inner frame, those puke gold really an eyesore for me. I also like to paint others inner frame or details up to make it look better.
And backlogs really a headache. At least for me(I don't know about other people), my backlogs increase when I saw the kit I like, it doesn't matter with how many kits I have not build yet nor how many kits in progress. Now I have 5 kits under progress and I still keep on buying and increasing my backlogs until I hit my budget. So all your points are valid.
