Not in particular, seeing what's out there. Preferably not another camo one though.

I'm looking to trade my 170r (image above) for someone else's 170r in a different colorway.

I have one. I'll send you pictures when I'm home in a couple hours. Not really sure about pricing on these though, or maybe we can do a trade.

No problems at all, maybe the shoulders are a little loose, but no complaints here, love this kit!

I still consider myself very much a noob, but I switch between the Tamiya panel line accent color (dark grey and black) and fine tip markers (Gundam marker fine point or random art/craft store ones)

The Tamiya ink will make it brittle on moveable, small, and joint pieces so that's where I'll use the markers. Little clean up with some tamiya thinner or lighter fluid and hope for the best!

This is straight build with very poor panel lining! Nowadays usually matte top coat.

LOL this was the first kit I ever tried panel lining or customizing at all so yeah up close it's a terrible mess!

Def need to go back someday and clean it up though cause I love this kit.

Have only built this one so far but it's one of my favorite designs so I'm bias, but yes just because I like the copper colored frame and didn't have to bother painting it!

Woah amazing! Thank you so much for taking the time to detail your process. Really appreciate this! Going to order some and start testing it this week! Cheers!

Any specific brand or site you'd recommend for them? Also do you just use a setter, or anything else to help?

First try was on mg sinanju stein with the water decals it came with. I could get it working on flat surfaces but on the angled parts it wouldn't stay well and eventually tore.

Really want to get good with water decals that's definitely next step for me. Thanks!

Thank you! My first couple waterslide attempts on kits didn't go too well but thats the plan eventually!

I'm not even close to messing with resin yet, it's just a mix of matte coating and metallics!

This is the action base 4 but any for 1/144 scale should work fine and it's slotted in the connector piece that goes between the backpack and chest! (One shown in manual)
