wow..

is it hard to build?

Well, its different enough from a Gundam type model that I need to refer to the instructions more than I usually do. However its definetely easier to build compared to a transforming MS smile.gif

But anyways, the building of these models tends to be pretty easy in general lar.. Its the painting it and making it look good that's the challenge here.

Results are very satisfying... but Tamiya colours are very weak and easily scratch off..( but i like the matte effect) so.. i spray everything and protect it with Mr hobby topcoat- matte

Frosting is always a huge problem with matt finishing. But what I found out was that a 50/50 mix of My Hobby Matt + My Hobby Gloss top coats still gives a matt finishing, but cuts down drastically on the frosting effect. Need an AB to apply though.

well, yeah. smile.gif
primer first, then airbrush. after doing this, i learned something - never use surfacer with airbrush, looks like i'm better with just the white surfacer can spray, lol tongue.gif

will post more pics soon when done ab with shoulder & leg armors

Actually, I've been using Mr Surfacer with my airbrush all this time without any problems. Can u describe how u did it? Might be problems to do with the thickness of the primer in your airbrush that's causing the problems.

well, its like i filled 1/3 of the primer into the ab cap, then just spray it tongue.gif
then, as i spray, ''strings''-like thingy just stick on to the runner parts @_@, & i had a difficult time to take it off separately. maybe its just my first few tries using my ab.

oo yea, must the primer be mixed with thinner first before ab? because i didnt mix it at all tongue.gif just simply put into ab & spray tongue.gif

thx in advance for help

Yup, u guessed right. By itself, its too thick to be sprayed using an AB. I use hardware thinner to thin it down, on a 2 part thinner to 1 part primer ratio without using any retarders, and it works fine. U can adjust the ratios to suit your own need, but make sure its at least 1:1.
