yanno, now that I look at it, it is NOT a Ver2.0 kit, its the '95 issue F/J.

Oh well I got through it all. At least they are not rubber and impossible to sand!!!!

I think I may jam them on a stick and gang sand them next time, I need to build a second unit for the Nats....got an idea...

man, what a lot of cleanup with all those hose covers!

They're much easier to clean up over the old 1/0 cable tubes.  I just kept them on the stick and sanded them all at once.  Then painted them while they were still on the rubber stick too.  20 times easier than the old MG Zaku kits :D 

Im working on a Zaku MS06F Ver 2.0.....man, what a lot of cleanup with all those hose covers!

But, its gonna look GREAT when Im done!

He's right, I was looking through today and found this very helpful.  I'm painting my Hi-Zack in non standard colors but I have been wondering how I would find the correct colors for my next kit and now I have the answer.  Thanks for the tip!

You guys make a cute couple.

Hey

I'm not a sci-fi builder or anything but i think i can make a suggestion.  A couple months back I bought the FSM special book/mag on painting and weathering and int the front it included an add for Gunze Sangyo products and included was a buch of paints and markers specificaly for Gundams.  It seems they specailize in gundam paints, so hope this helps.

just go with his imagination  thats what i would suggest but check out this web site and look at other builds
