  1. It’s a gem of a kit. A very good paintwork and rendition of the ame-iro colour in my opinion. I like it!
    What was the brand you used for the ame-iro, MRP or AK?

  2. Since MRP is not yet move with Japanese paints. I resorted to AK real color but they have disadvantages that decal softer melts the color and varnishes of Ak. So I put 3 layers of MRP gloss.

    • Thanks Samo! I have used Micro Sol/Set over some Gloss varnished AK lacquers (RC) with no issues at all. There are other decal softener solutions a lot stronger of course, perhaps you used one of those brands, no? Anyway thanks pointing out the paint

  3. Amazing work, Samo, unbelievable for 1/72!

  8. Very good Hamp! A long time ago I build Q-102 🙂
