Thinner to remove.
Paint fr marker direct too thick. Need to thin down.
Spraycan or ab.
red is dominant color, white paint alone wont be able with one or two passes.
Practise on used runner first.

Silver. What do u use to saw/cut parts for kitbashing?

 

[MetatronEX]

Hi guys, I need some advice from this forum. I have a RG Exia that came with a missing part. Is there a way where I can get a replacement from Bandai? I lost my receipt too and bought this gunpla quite a while ago so I don't think it's an option to go back to the store.

an alternative would be to get from gentei parts website, but do take note they can take up to 6 mths to process your order

If u can stretch yr budget, can consider a sonic cutter. Cuts plastic like hot knife thru butter.

Not really Gundam, but seems Bandai also sells 1/72 scale Star Wars kits like X-Wing & TIE fighter..are they like Gunpla & Bandai's One Piece ships: don't require painting, just snap-fit & decals?

You can search youtube under Hobbylinktv..they recently did a review on the Star Wars kits. I got all three and missing stormtroopers...I think panel lining will do

ab = airbrush


Tamiya spray will be better compared to commercial spraycan especially if u are new to spraying. easier to control and not too thick.
