seriously, guys.. when you're stating you're disappoined in something or regretted in buying something, please explain the reasoning. Else it's just trolling and doesn't carry much weight.  rolleyes.gif

if you ask me, that not totally worthy to call as defect
nothing affect the kit quality as a tiny design changed, not affect the transformation to Waverider
the only worthy to recall back is MG Unicorn ver KA, now thats what we call as defective products whistling.gif

someone in bandai is in deep trouble now

what's wrong with MG unicorn ver ka?

alright ok I also saw this ! I am planning to use some sort of adhesive as well but I don't what yet !

ok thanks for this ! sankyew sankyew !

ok, now confirmed

http://blog.goo.ne.jp/yshobbyblog/e/37f369...fbd494cefa9d626

on the dark booster
HGBCダークマターブースターは非対応ですが、少し手を加えれば取り付けられます

in short, 'not supported, little tweaking required'

i'd say by the time you finished with the RG and the booster, you'll get the idea how to mount

i have the exia, but don't have the booster, that's all i can help

softer (green): kinda melt the decal on the plastic. result: markings look like been painted on instead of using decal

setter (blue): easier to set the decal in place. It is quite slippery to place water decals especially on unpainted kits, setter solves this problem.

you can also do without using those solvents, but better top coat a.s.a.p.

halfway through water decaling my 3.0 rx-78 i realised using these solvent makes my life easier.

so on unpainted you can use setter only....
how asap to apply top coats after decals if not using any solvents, hours or less?
*
you can use setter on painted surface too, it's just up to you whether want to use or not. if painted but still slippery, you'll still need it.

i'd say top coat as soon as you finished for the day, don't wait until the next day.
