  1. Hi, all - Long-time hobbyist and first-time MW poster. I've been contemplating my next bulk order from HLJ and while some kits are a lock (1/100 Frame Arms kits, Hasegawa's new 1/72 Super VF-25F/S, and a November-release 1/100 Gundam Barbatos), the rest of the order is a tossup between - HGUC Palace Athene - HGUC Gabthley - HG R-Gyagya - HG Lightning Zeta OR - 1/48 Hasegawa YF-19 - 1/48 YF-19 photo-etch parts I really like the 19, and I've been itching to work on A) a 19, and B) a modern 1/48 fighter kit (the only other kit of that scale was a Revell reissue of an old 70s/80s Monogram F-14D). If any of you have worked on this kit before (with or without the metal detail parts), what were your impressions of it? My concern stems from my general lack of experience with scale aircraft as well as my lack of an airbrush. (I suppose I could always get a spray can, but I'm not sure if Tamiya et al have prefabbed cans in the right tan color. And hand-painting such large expanses of plastic seems like it'll create more problems than solve them.) But anyway. Like I said, anyone have experience with this (or the Bandai HGs, I suppose) kit that they could share with me to help with a purchasing decision? Thanks!
