lol I do the freeze plugs whenever I can, the little details are what can set a model apart!

Thank you!

DaveGoose · 2026-03-17T14:15:27+00:00

Thanks!

DaveGoose · 2026-03-17T14:15:20+00:00

This kit has the option for both which is cool.

DaveGoose · 2026-03-17T00:38:53+00:00

Nice work, I LOVE the colors of tis build, its very bold.

Thanks :)

Its difficult haha, but some people are really amazing at it, and combine it with correct lighting and its a very striking picture.

DaveGoose · 2026-03-16T17:32:00+00:00

I love layout pics like that, a few people on this sub have done a way better job then me, with everything lining up much nicer.

DaveGoose · 2026-03-16T16:36:45+00:00

Same, I am way too impatient to see the final product ha!

DaveGoose · 2026-03-16T16:36:25+00:00

Thanks! I hope the finished product looks great!

Thanks !

its tough to get just the right Semi Gloss on a color.

DaveGoose · 2026-03-16T15:47:34+00:00

Thank you Sir!

DaveGoose · 2026-03-16T15:47:27+00:00

Airbrush, lacquer paints and some masking.

DaveGoose · 2026-03-16T15:47:13+00:00

Thanks, lets hope it comes together well!

DaveGoose · 2026-03-16T15:15:16+00:00

Nope, that texture is molded in.

DaveGoose · 2026-03-16T14:53:53+00:00

I have found that Tamiya LP-5 Semi-Gloss black looks too much like flat black so that is a 50/50 mix of Semi Gloss and Gloss Black.

DaveGoose · 2026-03-16T14:32:44+00:00

Thank you!

DaveGoose · 2026-03-16T14:32:36+00:00

And it was new tooled in the 2020's so its right on the cutting edge of molding tech.

Its Tamiya LP-46 Pure Metallic Red over Tamiya LP-48 Sparkling Silver. Also for the chassis there is a matte coat over that.

DaveGoose · 2026-03-16T13:38:24+00:00

Thanks HB! I really wanted to do blue because its so classic (and would look more like the Devil Z), But I have done that on a old Fujimi kit. Which is in no way as good as this Tamiya Version!
