Although it is an old Master Grade kit, dating from 2003, it still holds up really well - perhaps not as much detail as a modern kit, but it's solid, well articulated and just an overall awesome design (reminiscent of a deep-sea diving suit.. with claws). Plus it was a design piloted by Char Aznable, so it's automatically awesome for being red.

This was the second Master Grade kit I built (early 2018), as well as the first kit I ever airbrushed. I had only ever used spray cans and brush painted details. I was really pleased with the way it came out (the mess-up with the final matt coat aside…)

Final matt coating

Decals on, and final coat applied. I kinda messed up by putting the matt coat on several of the parts before the decals though, so some of them look quite 'silvery'….

First gloss coat

No decals at this point….
