  • I never knew the difference between them. I’ve never been able to find any information on what products are compatible. Even within paint brands

  • I paint cars for a living. Painting plastic robots should not be this challenging for me. But all the techniques are different. Are you airbrushing topcoat?

  • My love affair with gundam markers has ended. I can’t make the metallics look good with top coat.

    Once I find the right color in real paint I will recoat and the panel line after topcoat

  • Same. I’ve been holding back from Gunpla to work on my car, also The Wife said no more robots until you get rid of some.

  • They will both pretty much be metallic versions of the original color scheme. If I change any colors on them it will only be for increased separation which is already pretty good on these kits.

  • My last few kits have been from P-Bandai, but I’ve been using The Gundam Place Store for my supplies. Their shipping charges are comparable to other US based stores but they are about an hour from me so sometimes I pick up my orders in person when the wife wants to galavant on the weekends.

  • The metallic Gundam markers won’t look even unless you spray it. That why I was talking about the gm airbrush the other day. You can make it look good but the paint is very fragile. It chips easy and even rubs off when handling. It also changes in appearance with topcoat.

    All the red on this is XGM03 marker sprayed with air
