The starwars thing would be cool! you should try it. maybe you could use the RX-79[G], as thats the most star wars-y looking. that and I think it would look awesome painted in that patch work paint job most rebel fighters have
as for this kit, I don't know what colors I am going to use just yet. I am going to have to hand paint alot of it due to its lack of detail in some areas. the dang thing does not have opening missile bays like the box art depicts. however, all the joints on the tiny bot move. for all that this kit lacks, I still look forward to the build because unlike my gundam kits this requires me to do more than simply snap and forget, it will take time and glue and sanding.
also, this may make for interesting conversation on wether or not this guy has the firepower to take on a zaku.
later!
