Thoughts
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'; I've since changed to using decal softener and decal setter after applying a gloss coat and before final coat….
First gloss coat
Looking great, but way too shiny…
