That would be really nice... but i doubt it would be RG if it would be ever made... more like 1/60. And im pretty sure it would be preassembled.

I would be really p*ssed off if i can't find RG Justice at Vivocity tomorrow. The brochure says same day as japan release...

I think it's stocked in HAG today. Should be cheaper there right?

Please prime yr Kit... what is primer, white or grey surface before u add raw colors to feed the plastic:s22:

Was thinking of getting the metallic effect with minimal effort so is looking at the marker..
If dun prime, and use marker to go over the part again n again, will that help? I'm still amateur and is not that keen to go into air brushing.
Thanks :)

Tamiya Panel Line Accent, Lighter fluid and cotton bud. It's super easy even for non-experienced modeler and works well on bare Gunpla plastic too.

You can use gundam market gm20, because the head is soft, its able to go into small gap.
Than use cotton bud to wipe off the excess.

Add a little bit of zipo fluid to the cotton if you find hard to clean.

If you have painted your kits, than gloss coat first than do.

Ah ok thanks! haha still not yet at the painting stage. My Destiny just panel line already take 2 hours just to do one side of the wings and backpack! Haven't even clear nub marks! Really respect u guys!

I use sandpaper to sand away the nubs, from 400 grid than 1000 ,

you not painting the while kit, than use tamiya compound finish to polish that area, left it dry for 1 day.
If use color markers or paint just for those, u will end up buying quite a few
