Hi, thank you for the generous comments again! I took wm cheng's advice of masking with the tamaya tape. It was so easy to use! I masked the booster and the black area, then airbrush a thin layer of testor enamel radome tan. Then cover it with a few coats of lacquer flat coat. When I first transformed it (a day later), the locking points did have minor scratch, and I have to touch up. But after 3 days, the paint dried and harden enough, and I have transformed it 5 times since then, and no scratch. The key is to make aure the peg going straight in when you transform. Hope it helps!

Thank you for all the comments guys! and thank you wm cheng! It was you who inspired me to paint mine. I agree with you that the "101" decal that came with the kit was too small, so I used the ones from my 1/48 VF-1J. The rest of the decals were from the 1/60 VF-1J, VE-1, and VT-1. The tail fin is the only one I painted. I actually used the testor "Radome Tan", guess it turned out alright. The booster cone were painted with Mr. Metal Gold. I personally liked it, kind of give it a "space craft" look. I then cover everything with a flat coat. Again, thanks sharing all the tips and references on this thread! It was so useful! I love this community!
