DarrinG Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 The visor needs to be gray but I do not want to spend the money on the special gray version. After looking at the head it looks like it could come apart fairly easily, I pried it a bit but then got nervous. Anyone have any thoughts?
Shaorin Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) i dunno. i prefer the all-white look myself. this IS the Ichijo TV version we are discussing, correct? 1/60v.II? i don't see, however, why you would have to dismantle the head unit in order to paint the visor section. all one would really need is a bottle of TAMIYA COLOR XF-63 "GERMAN GREY" a fine brush, and a steady hand...

Ignacio Ocamica Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 I would mask the head and the clear visor (use hasegawa yellow masking tape and a x acto knife) and you should be ready to paint the visor grey As Shaorin said, there's no need to pry the head apart.
DarrinG Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 Yes - TV version, and yes, fine brush and a steady hand it will be... thx guys...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Post the result when you're done!!! We all hope for a steady hand
