Ended up using Blue + Grey + Chrome for the color scheme + flat topcoat.
Recently bought a small compressor + airbrush from Taobao to try out ABing.
Was quite troublesome pulling cables etc to use it outside of my house.
It was quite fun trying this out though, the paint layer is definitely thinner using AB.
Think I'm more used to spray cans though so pardon the poor paint job on some of the areas.

Another thing with this is a constant occurrence of scratched paint...
Think the older MG designs have lots of connecting parts that tends to scratch each other.

WIP 2: MC Model SD Hi-Nu Gundoom - Snapfit

Done snapfit.
Have to say that MC Model is getting better at the casting.
Not much of a problem fitting the parts (unlike the previous SD Gundooms, which had issues with the LED setups).

A little disappointed though with the weapons variety, apparently the pictures towards the end of the manual are just "pictures"/possibilities, no bazooka etc...
Overall quite a good kit for an SD with good details.

PS: 2 small parts that cannot be removed once fitted are not attached (See the holes on the front armor and skirt).
