I am doing plain plastic panel wash. I don't gloss coat before panel wash. It is ok if you are careful not to over spam the stuff onto the plastic. Make sure you apply in small doses, and not to any parts that are under stress. The thinner in the panel wash will weaken the plastic, especially the parts under stress/strain and cause cracks. The first time I tried doing panel wash I spoilt my RG zaku, ended up with a lot of broken parts.

After that experience I have a method now which has not given me any problems. I panel line wash while everything is still on the runners so that there is no stress on the plastic. Leave it to dry for a few hours or a day, then clean off the excess. I clean off with zippo fluid, again be careful not to use too much.

Oh damn i read its better to panel wash after assemble, since most dont recommend washing on bare plastic. Anyway im using zippo fluid as my thinner and q-tip cleaner.

Still some Banshees by the time I left, for Hard Graph only 1 M61A5 tank and quite a number of Code Name Cyclops Sets left....

Banshee and Unicorn going for $20 each, M61A5 going at $50, didn't bother checking the cyclops set. Torn whether to go down again tomorrow....

 

[wanrong]

there will be new MGs every day ?

 

[flanker27]

the reported mg zaku II is ver 2? and is it the red or green one?

 

[alfseeto]

Just left there. MG only left the Titus, spallow, rgm 79, delta plus and dark hound. Hard graph only left the Cyclops. Make sure you check the price tags before you buy. Some of the items are priced lower due to box damage or mistake. I got the Cyclops set for $6.

 

[Jhyun]

Yeah but the damaged boxes discount is not alot.... Barely additional $5 compared to your usual hobby shop discount...

 

[wanrong]
