I did run into a small problem with the leg missile launchers. I had this great idea that it would look cool with red highlights on them. So I want and mask them all just to have the paint blend thou my masking job and ruin the paint job.......... So I ended up having to strip the paint off and repaint it again, this time with out the red highlights.
I also made a small mistake with the blade as well. I forgot to make sure to get all the dust off before putting the black gloss coat on, and didn't notice until after taking off the masking. I plan to try and get some of that dust off and just fix it up with some paint.
Other then that, everything else has gone very smoothly. I did make some minor changes to the color scheme, mostly the gating gun. I plan on having the body gray, with the handles the same orange on the body, with the barrel polished aluminum, and pale gold for the ammo thread and the end of the barrel.
I hope to have the final WIP for this kit up in about a week, which will be mostly the decal and panel lines done.
