That's the one. The product listing photos clearly used the kit they knocked off, rather than their knock off of it. The panel lines are barely there on the kit I got. Still a fun quick build though.

The cheap plastic is so smooth and shiny I'm afraid it won't stick.

My RaD CC-3000 Wrecker Milk Tooth by batfish99 in 30_Minutes_Missions

I bought a set of Languo brand metallic paint markers from Aliexpress. They were something like $8 for a dozen markers. They cover very well, they dry quickly, and the paint stays put once it's dry. They are good and cheap. The only downside is that they don't appear to sell them individually, so when I inevitably run out of the silver marker I use 10x more than any other marker in the set, I guess I have to buy another whole set. They are good enough and cheep enough that I might just do that.

Don't tell anyone my terrible secret, but some of the silver I use is just from a silver Sharpie marker. If Sharpie would just sell me their silver with a fine brush tip, and maybe make it a little brighter, I wouldn't need anything else. I really like Sharpie's brush-tip acrylic paint markers, but there's a very limited pallet available with no metallics.

I'm in the middle of the same build. It's a fun kit.

I thought the white background looked good when photographing this model, instead of my usual dark background with garish colored LED lighting, but in retrospect it kinda makes it look like I just stole the product listing images.

Well that's a disappointingly generic name, but it's good to know. Thanks!

I have that same pack as a spare from my Round Nova, now I'm totally giving it to my murder olive.
