I was wondering if the intention to paint is only to repaint the all the parts with their respective color to hide nub marks and uneven color from the runner itself, would spray can do the job or still airbrush the better choice (which i am yet to consider since i don't do a lot of gunpla and it would be a waste to get one atm >.<)
*
If just coating the whole runner, the spray can will do.
Airbrush is usually when you mix your own color or doing shading.

You can still do panel lining. Just recoat afterwards.

i wonder if it's still possible to find one of those old gundam, so i might as well ask it here 0:

i wonder does any store here in KL still have some of those old school stuff from 08th MS team 0:

Extremely low possibility. You'll have higher chance online and importing.

I usually buy from hobbysearch. They have restocks and stock indicator. So you won't suffer from the 'out of stock' reply.

We've seen white unicorn, black lion and gold phoenix.
Wondering if anyone would make a green dragon.

Possible to buy spray online? Will it be troublesome to bypass the custom?
*
yes, buy online can. But you'll have to buy from local sellers.
I believe that it is the current international freight regulations that does not allow volatile or pressurized items to be shipped unless they are kept within special containers.
the problem with most paint spray can is that they are pressurized. In low pressure environment such as in flight, they have a higher probability to burst and explode.

yes I admire those MG inner frame detail than RG inner frame
but how many of us there like to view it half exposed? or who want to view it anytime, can detach those armors back without breaking?
*
It is a once in a MG build kind of a feeling. A satisfaction of building the inner frame.

whats with the big mouth plate lately? holes to small to mould?
I thought only wing zero has that issue hmm.gif
*
That is a possibility.
The plastic between the holes may have a tendency to tear off when ejected from the mould. Thus will result in rejects and waste.

There are those with low noise. You can DIY some sound proofing and vibration isolation.

i dont really mind if it is not "transformable"...
maybe they could include all the parts for unicorn and destroy mode, but can only assemble in one mode...this way can choose which mode to build...

I like the MG unicorn, but i kinda having problem posing with it, as some of the "transforming" parts seems to come off easily (but that could be just me)...
*
It does come off easily. I read a review on PG unicorn that some of its parts also came off easily.

the RG astray looks like it7s going to be difficult to custom paint since the inner frame is already molded in red and white

i don't think it'll be hard since most of them will be covered by its armor. Well, except when the limbs bend for posing.

btw, do u rub immediately after applying or u wait a while for it to slightly dried up?

*
I usually rub immediately especially for small and narrow line.
i find that it is easy to wipe off if the surface is gloss.
Never ever ink on a primed surface. I did once on a surface primed with MR base 1000. I couldn't rub it off even when i use lighter fluid. Luckily the error was little.

can see the Nu has very fine and lighter shed, but i wonder if it can be even lighter to the point that it's close to white hmm.gif
enamel wash is achievable but will marker do the same?

Using alcohol and water is achievable?
*
I never tried but the idea that came up to me is that you use lighter grade of mechanical pencil lead.
The other idea is to mix your own and apply using an extremely fine needle.

hehe if you look close enough no matter how hard you pressed it after softer the water decals still shown when there lighting for it to reflect light.

glossy surface will not as apparent but when in metallic matt surface you will see, still only if you look close enough... (I'm kinda perfectionist kind of guy)

You want perfect?
Use dry transfer or paint your own.
