Tips & Tricks

• For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be painted/panel-lined with Gundam Markers or Mr. Color paints.
• Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers and if any, marking decals and painted details.
  • If using matte/flat-finish top coat, it is advisable not to spray on the translucent parts – can be done by masking or spraying top coat while the said parts are separated.
