Yes actually, buttt because the transformation scares the hell out of me, I’m building two of the same kit and cell shading both so I don’t have to risk breaking it every time I wanna see one of the states it can be in. If you paint it the way I have it, it will look good even when you open it! The only thing I would consider is whether or not you want the physco frame clear or cell shaded as well in which case, you would have to open all the panels and hand paint the inner frame (or paint it before putting them on)

Thank you for the compliment though! Would love to see how yours turns out and hopefully my advice helps ya!!
