As of tonight I've painted all the red and blue parts, given them a gloss coat, and started panel lining them. I've also got most of the rest or the parts gloss coated and they are curing atm. Should just be one more round of prep glossing to go. I had to paint the blue parts because the nub marks were way too noticeable on this guy, plus I made a stress fracture in the plastic on the chest so that needed fixed. I painted the red with a mixture of Mr. Color reds, because I found the standard red too bland. I used Mr. Color on both and this was my first time using that brand. I must say I really liked it, being a lacquer based paint it should bond better with the plastic. Not much else to say about it this time other than I got some decals for the kit from SamuelDecal, all water slides do looking forward to trying those out. At this point I'm very pleased with the kit, albeit a bit nervous about how well it will fit together with all these layers on it, we shall see.
