About the Build \u00c2\u00bb<\/p>\n

The Afterburner is complete. I decided to do something
\nvery different with my Master Grade Hyakushiki. Instead of doing
\na “war machine” I decided to turn this kit into a pimpin
\n“street machine”. The premise being that collectors of
\nMobile Suits give them custom paint schemes to show them off at
\n“Air Shows” of sorts.<\/p>\n

This particular scheme required a ton of masking.
\nIt also has a total of 11 colors. Yellow, Red, Orange, Blue, Dark
\nGrey, Medium Grey, Light Gray 1, Light Gray 2, Green, Black, and
\nWhite. Phew!<\/p>\n

No modifications were done to this kit. I just puttied
\nand sanded the seams and started painting.<\/p>\n

The decals were designed by me for this kit. They
\nwere printed by Peter Savin at Models4You. He did a fantastic job
\nand you can see amazing little details in the text.<\/p>\n

Check out the custom paint scheme image on the progress
\npage<\/a> to see how close I got it. The only real difference is
\nthat I painted both slots on the front skirts yellow, instead of
\none blue and one yellow.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
