Thanks for posting. I somehow missed this one, even though I've been asking you to post progress pics for a while now! I really like seeing the early stages this time. Nice work!

Can a mod perhaps move this into the "building/customizing" forum instead of the generic "model kits" thread where it is now? I don't want anyone else to miss finding this one.

firstly, thanks all for viewing and all the kind words...appreciate it

Wow1 What a beauty! I might have to reevaluate my stance on flat finishes for mecha models. :D

What custom decals did you use?

lolicon, for the white edge lining at the missle pack(replacing the stickers) and all the blue markings i did use the gn-001 gundam exia decal from bandai, and for extra stencilings are from hasegawa's leftover decals from my atmo-booster project plus i bought some from mecha skunk decals

I see you shortened the sniper rifle, may I ask you why? the original length wasn't aesthetically appealing to you?

regult, its a stock sniper rifle, i didn't do any mods nor alterations to the rifle, just some non-canon color scheme

Awesome build and paint job. The colors are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

Truly the best looking VF-25 so far! Color scheme is genius! B))

the main body blue is a combination of tamiya xf-8 flat blue + xf-18 medium blue + xf-50 field blue with mix ratio 5:5:3 respectively

for the yellowish tint at the leg armor pack i did mix tamiya xf-3 flat yellow + tamiya xf-1 flat black + tamiya x-19 smoke with mix ration 3:1:5 respectively

for the overal color of the superpack is mixture of tamiya xf-20 medium grey +abit of black

for the darker parts at the SP is mr. metal color #214 dark iron.

for the wing SP blueish front is using tamiya xf-50 field blue

the white portion is actually offwhite with tamiya flat white xf-2 added with a few drops of medium grey....i think that shud cover almost all the paints used in the g version.....any questions please shoot. i'll be gladly to answer.... ^_^

Same here, I didn't see this thread until now. I really love the finishing, this kit looks perfect to me, great colors, details, and smooth weathering. Congratulations!
