Tips & Tricks[]
- For better results, some or most of the details (including the figurines) are needed to be applied and panel-lined with Gundam Markers and/or Mr. Color Paints.
- Top coat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers/marking decals and if any, painted details.
- If using matte/flat-finish top coat, it is advisable not to spray on the clear/translucent, die-cast, rubber, and the chromed parts - can be done by spraying top coat while the said parts are separated.
