I had this kit storing for a few years now and it has called me to start paying it some attention. I want to give it an all out effort. However, I need some advice from you expert Gundam builders before starting. Any bit of advice will be great. I'm not a newbie to model building in general and I have built some Gundam models before. I got almost every tool needed, or at least I can have access to it, but I need some ideas to make it look real special, but not too radical, I still want to preserve the overall look and feel of NT-1; one of my favorite Gundam Types.

Thanks, bud. Hey what kind of airbrush do you use? I used Iwata. The HP-CR and the HP-CS. The best so far is the HP-CS. vic01

Nice, that's a gravity fed device right? I have a Paasche VL and VLS, it is an internal mix suction fed, I kind get problems with it feeding from below. Where and how much did you get the Iwata? What compressor are you using?

What compressor are you using? Buy on dixiearts.com Based on my experience, gravity-feds are the best than bottom-feds AB.They have free delivery over $45 I think. I bought the HP-CR there and the Iwata Silver Jet compressor for only $119. It is the cheapest compressor (good) you can buy. Very portable, includes the pistol grip filter and hose coil, good for hobby stuffs working from 10-18 PSI (working level) to 40 PSI max, but not that quiet though. I bought the HP-CS on ebay for $85, cheap too. vic01
