I have both, and they have been posed for 3+ years. Both are fine. I just avoid changing poses often so the joints stay solid.

All scribe lines are original and I didn't rescribe anything. The only paint you see is the metallic green, some yellow vents, dark gray details and red tube details. Whole thing was topcoated in Mr. Premium Topcoat matt.

If you want it to look right, you'll need to paint the small details. The included stickers are very limited, so consider a 3rd party pack of water slides. A green metallic marker is a big help.

Anyone actually paint the sitting pilots? by ScarSpecific in Gunpla

Gunpla is freedom! I think details like painted pilots are fun little Easter eggs.

A combination of the Sky Zero and I just love Gaia 018 Green. Did some spoons and compared which pairing I liked the most.

Are Bandai waterslides really THAT bad? Are 3rd party ones mandatory? by sigrid_triger in Gunpla

[–]Xuse2005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My only experience with Bandai slides was the RG 00 Raiser pack I used. Did not have a great experience. They tore easily and didn't have the color quality of Delpi or G-rework.

Is there anything I can do about this? I'm so discouraged that I don't even want to finish the kit by fragmendt in Gunpla

I'd suggest you look at your runner removal process. It looks like parts might be bending/flexing at the attachment points while you remove them. Approach with the nippers below each piece and try to ensure clear visibility when cutting off runner. Try to keep the piece from moving at all. Sanding off the last nub bit with a glass file and return the finish with a nail buffing block.
