The kit is very nice OOB but I made a few minor changes to suit my likings. First off I removed the chrome plating by soaking the parts overnight in some Purple Power. (Also good for cleaning resin and removing Tamiya Acrylics) By doing this I was able to clean-up seams and paint the gold in a nicer more muted tone. The gold is Alclad II Pale Gold. MechaSkunk&#8217;s socket pins were used for the Triceros Kai lances boosters and gold cable beads left over from the Hi-Zack were added to the swords. The decal scheme for the wings was based on a Kimono pattern.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item
