Master grades (Gundams) are all 1/100 scale, I found the 1/60 scale hands were a bit too big for ldr prime.

You can key in MG Sazabi at HobbyLink Japan Home Page to check the model kit out.

best prime i have seen, you re-painted the entire thing?

Im a bit scared to try to do the red and blues but i might give it a shot. I wish i would have picked up a spare optimus during the target sale.

Can you share with us your methods?

jon!

All I can suggest is go more metallic colors so it is shiny just a like a real truck!

Hi Jon,

You probably need to think about how to repaint the flame. Maybe you can consider using the flame stencil from F_R. The cheaper, but more tedious method is the trace, mask and spray the flames.

You would probably first paint the red, the gold gradient colour, mask then the blue last.

Not sure if that answer your question?

Thanks for your feedback. Was trying to follow the concept art colours, but I am still considering a repaint in metallic colors for a G1 color.
