Ok, finished product. Not what my mind's eye pictured. (more imagination then skill) But I am pleased with the minimalist approach. Hope u guys like it too.
I wish I was that good of an artists! Nah, I found the images online and used photoshop to remove the background. I'm going to stay with the pearl white and break out my fine brushes for some pin striping. I found a couple chibi Ranka and Sheryl pics I will add along with a few SMS badges.
A short vid of my drone hovering with the custom hull. It still needs some smaller stuff to finish it out but I am pleased.

I got the decals on, but I need to make some filler stuff. Looks very sparse. I may make a couple SMS logos and maybe chibi character decals to fill in the voids. What do you guys think?
here's some pics and urls for the closeups---->

Here's a test with he decals after a coat of Testors gloss coat to seal them before water dip/transfer. I am pleased with the results. Macross F'd my phone case :-P
Working on an Idolmaster kind of Parrot AR drone hull. I have Ranka, Sheryl, Nanase, and Klan (both sizes) printed out on blank decal paper. I'll post some pics as I progress.
Awesome man, it will help tons to know. I bought a bunch of half built vf-25's off ebay and was going to customize them but the guy broke them off the sprues rather then cutting, so have stress discoloration
I have some 1/72 Bandai VF-25s and I don't know what colors to mix to get the shades for touch up and such. Anyone know what colors they used to mix the color guides?
yes...but like I said too easy to break when trying to switch out. I wouldn't chance it. These 2 should help you a lot.

lol i didn't see it on here. I was checking BakaBT for a decent subbed version and found a 1080p that looks good and saw in the comments about editing.
