Hi guys, I'm new to gunpla and bought my very first gundam, MG Strike Freedom Gundam.

Since this is my first time, I would like to try panel lining and top coating.
There are some question I would like to ask:

I bought a Black Gundam Marker for panel lining, but I'm looking to buy the Brown and Grey as well.

1) Do you guys know any shops around Wangsa Maju (or nearest) that sells them?

2) What is the use of thinner? To clean off the excess ink for lining? I heard that it will damage the parts cause its plastic. (or something like that)

3) I read that they dont import Mr Hobby Top Coat anymore, any other substitute for it? Or should I just get them online? And also should I assemble everything first then only top coat or coat it while assembling?
