Hi All Sifu,

Need help on below project im working on pertaining hand painting

Model 1: RG Zaku 2

Q1: Is the color correct? or nearest to the pic?
Mr Hobby Aqueous
H324 Light Gray (Flat)
H306 Gray
H24 (Orange Yellow)

Q2. For hand paint, im thinking to use acrylic type. Which i believe MR Hobby Aqueous is the nearest and easier to paint.
Correct me if im wrong. As enamel will need few days to dry.

Q3. Does the normal hand brush from bookstore works well?

Model 2: MG Nu V Gundam ver. Ka with Metal Details


Q4. Does the kit looks painted? The white parts doesn't looks painted but the body with gunmetal part looks painted.
Will it looks weird if just paint the body but not the white parts?

Q5. Do you do panel lining 1st or paint?

Q6. Does gundam marker sticks well on Mr Hobby Aqueous color?

Q7. 3 Colors i found most similar to the pic. Im trying to simulate the color from the pic not as recommended by Bandai. Let me know if this is correct.
Reason im choosing some lacquer and enamel here is because these are smaller parts. which i think suitable to use them.
Tamiya X31 GOld
Gaia 020 Gunmetal
Mr Hobby UG01 MS White



Model 3: Zvezda Black Pearl 1/72
