Anyone knows whether RG Skygrasper 'sword' and 'cannon' pack compatible with HG Aile Strike and vice-versa. The reason I'm asking is that I already got HG Aile Strike long time ago and wanted the sword and cannon pack.
*
there is the HG perfect strike gundam remastered, which cost less than the RG skygrasper, no need to assemble the strike gundam, just assemble the extra packs.
of course you wouldn't get the skygrasper if you do so

or

just get the RG version, both aile strike and skygrasper brows.gif

QUOTE(HxiiiK @ Jul 11 2013, 11:08 AM)
so far no.. they use logos CLOSE to bandai, but they don't actually put the words bandai there.. so just be a bit more careful and you'll be fine
just remember, if something is too cheap to be true, it probably isn't true rclxms.gif unless u know where to find brows.gif

i'm just into gunpla recently, so yoroshiku onegaishimasu notworthy.gif

Is there a place I can go to learn to paint? I keep Googling stuff up, but never really got the idea of how to start painting.

Of course start with the usual, sanding, cement, putty, then primer.

But then I have no idea whether I should be using spray cans or make my own combination for an air brush.

RG RX78-2 is not really good compare later installemnt of Strike onward.

you can check dalong to read the manual, the shoulder armor is very weird to put on instead using RG Strike snap on type.

also got a lot problem in RG 01 -02-04....

get MKII better  thumbup.gif

thanks for the feedback thumbup.gif

Just done on my first RG. So I try RG line with RX-78-2 first. Somehow, no matter how careful I clear the nub, the marks are still seen. It is like, the color within the plastic is not the same (usually darker) than outer skin of the plastic. I sand from grit 400-600-1000 and use the polishing compound coarse-fine and still, the nub mark still can be seen. Mad die me ><
*
same experience: my HG perfect strike's foot was ruined from sanding the nub mark with sand paper cry.gif
after that, i only use the cutter and knife to minimize the nub mark, only use a little sand paper if still hard to remove

In fact the color for sanding part is cured by Tamiya compound. However, the nub still visible. This is not the issue when I was assembling my MG Deathscythe and MG Shenlong.

My problem or first RG not good enough?
*
if you've done it before, maybe the kit itself is the problem?

if the color can be cured then shouldn't be a problem...
mine loose all the plastic, end up doesn't fit nicely cry.gif

Nice. Mind if I'm asking, why you didn't choose the RG Aile + RG Skygrasper? I thought RG got better quality? nod.gif

HG is cheaper of course biggrin.gif
& HG play with paint won't hurt so much.
next one thinking of getting RG
