Hi! I have both RG Unicorn and Banshee. You can have a try on Banshee IF you are on a collector basis. Banshee looks gorgeous especially under light.

However, dun bother if you dun have enough budget or space, it just another Unicorn with different colour  sweat.gif

I am actually having 0 knowledge on gundam as I am not a fan, but I was hooked by the designs of the different mechs.

I might get some other RG though (GP01, 00 Raiser, Freedom, Destiny etc)

RG 00 has a solid build, highly recommended. Dun ever consider RG Sinanju, alot of loose parts. You may consider the upcoming RG SAzabi

Thats quite an advance kit being your first gunpla!! thumbup.gif and you even do paneling .. Good Start!

I remember when i was a kid, I bought my first gundam,  HG V gundam, and feel cheated because the photo on the box look so good compare to my plain looking straight build gundam.. Later only realised I need to do all those panel line n some coloring myself..  doh.gif

thanks bro, I felt cheated coz my friend said RG is very easy and ask me start with them. After some research, I realized it is much more detailed and complicated compared to HG. But now I'm used to it already, there's no turning back to HG.

I do understand HG can make great kits too, but more skills are needed to actually make them pop (custom paints, custom detailing etc) which I do not have the skill yet....RG is suitable for newbies like me with straight build.

Anyway, here's my completed unicorn without decals and top coat (ordered some water slide decals, still waiting)

Zippo is plastic friendly (ABS, PS, PC, clear, etc)

1) what kit /part are you using it on and is this bandai or fake / 3rd party ?
2) U sure you use Zippo ka ?
*
1) I use it on all parts of my gunpla with panel lines that needs to be cleaned, the part that cracked is the tip of my skirting rifle of my MG Freedom 2.0, the material is PS. My kit is genuine Bandai kit.

2) should be genuine Zippo, I purposely go buy in a tobacco/cigarette shop in Sunway Pyramid, RM13++
