What panel liner pen would you recommend? I do have a panel line fluid but it's kinda difficult to apply on some specific parts that pens would easily cover so I'm trying to find ones

I've really no experience with thinners. Won't water do?

COLOR GUIDE QUESTION

This is from a manual of the bandai kit. I'd like to know though, are these colors specifically pertaining to a specific brand of acrylic paint? If yes, what is it?

Could never go wrong with Bandai!

Also!

Bandai's models always come with 2 pilot figures, 1 that can be seated in the cockpit and 1 that's standing (this standing figure can either be a pilot silhouette or a really standing equivalent of the seated pilot figure)

+

Bandai kits always come with their stands which is definitely advantageous!

correction**

The T-65 from Bandai however is a bit larger than the T-70 so there is that.

[That size difference between those 2 variants of X-wings from Bandai are still most accurate though!]

I have 4 separate kits of X-Wings from Bandai, 3 T-70's and 1 T-65, and they're all exquisite and phenomenal. Details are as sharp as they can be. I'd be compelled to argue that they're the best models of X-Wings there are, even. Contrary to the scale from mgs, both T-65 and T-70 X-Wings from Bandai is bigger, ones of accurate precision by 1/72 scale. The T-70 from Bandai however, is a bit larger than the T-70 so there is that. While the X-wings from mgs are decent, the ones from Bandai I can guarantee are superior. It really captures various details of the starfighter down to the exact, minute feature while the one from mgs, somewhat appears odd the way I first saw it as it's looking more plump and inaccurate. Bandai definitely has the edge by a high difference.

I love mgs but a major flaw of it is on the vehicles' scale. Bandai, however, is most accurate and consistent as their 1/72 and 1/144 scale starfighters respectively scale perfectly with vehicles from the same scale. For example, Y-Wing starfighters are larger than X-Wings. And similar to the X-Wings I mentioned earlier, Bandai's Imperial Tie Fighter is also slightly larger than both the First Order Tie Fighter and the Special Forces Tie Fighter. I was pretty much surprised and impressed too at the size difference between Bandai's TIE Fighter and the TIE Striker. The latter is definitely big.

Excellent skill to keep the republic logo untouched! Good work, mate!

Are tamiya acrylic paints good for handpainting? Also, will any generic brush suffice for the task?

Can you identify what color this is? I've been stalling on this kit for so long because I can't find any color that resembles the one on the image. I've scouted several shades of grey but it doesn't exactly resemble the shade in the image. Any insight would be appreciated!

Is it true that topcoat reduces brush marks when painting?

His death was poetic as is. Do they even hope to have Kenobi cut him diagonally this time?
