MC Model SD MSN-04-02 Nightingale - Candy Tone Red Scheme

One less item in my backlog.
All in all, it's not bad for a bootleg brand.
Would have been better if the arms have more articulation or more weaponries though.

Additional work done since last WIP:
- Handpainted the silver and yellow parts
- Panel-lined Black
- Stickers (don't have waterslide for this)
- Didn't do any top coat as test run on plastic spoon spoils the candy tone effect

Do pardon me for these 2 obvious problem areas (Since this build is really to test out candy tone red):
- seamlines/nubmarks, a little lazy to redo post painting the undercoat.
- don't have water decals so used the stickers which have obvious borders.

Start off with the picture with the best pose (in my humble opinion)

WIP 3: MC Model SD MSN-04-02 Nightingale

Spray painted with these spray cans used:
Main body: Anchor undercoat silver + Anchor Candy Red
Thrusters: RJ Chrome; Tamiya yellow
Weapon/Shield/Pipes etc: Anchor Black; Anchor White
Exposed body parts/joints: Tamiya Gunmetal

Missed smoothing out some parts and the paint didn't cover all areas evenly (not visible on the photos) - some improvements required there.
Still need some hand-painting + panel lining to complete this.
Cheers!
