Let's take a look for photo

zoom for some details
Last photo , I am proudly to annouce you a big size Gunze Sunyo color (500 CC). It is a limited product that I got from Japanese friend. He He ... just kidding
= Part assembling and modification
I cut off the power pipe-line and replaced it with metal rope which I find from stationary shop. I think it is too shine than real thing but overall it's OK.
All part was primed with mr. surface 1000 and colored with this step ...
White - surface 1000 ,gloss white ,preshading with intermediate grey and cover with gloss withe
Blue at chest - surface 1000 preshading with dark blue then cover with lighter blue
Red - surface 1000 ,white ,character yello ,preshading with wood brown plus little black then Madder red
Yellow - surface 1000 ,white ,prehsading with wood brown then character yellow
Black at thruster - surface 1000 preshading with black then overspray with dark gray + little blue
Both eyes was brushed with enamel color. For painting little area such as main camera and signal lights , I found it too hard so I use a small piece of post-it which I cut in square shape and stick it on.
Yellow vent was masked with Tamiya masking tape , I push it on masking tape on the cutting matt it creat a dimpimg line and cut it off with sharp art knife.
Both legs are a big problem for painting this kit becase 3 parts with different color was locked together.
I solve this problem by masked it before snap both piece of leg together. Masking was created by snack foil which cut off with the same shape as knee part.
Left and right cover was taked in place and use a masking tape wrap it around.
Penetrate an alumium foil at central and cut it at below so you can pull it up way when painting is finish.
