Well, at least my Maia Alpha fighter isn't alone anymore.
I wanted to see if I could match the paint used on the MPC with my Poseable Alpha... sadly it worked until it didn't. I had initially nailed the colors, that purplish/lavender color is Purple, Rose pink, a dash of red and some midnight blue all mixed up. The daker shade is Navy blue, black and a dash of purple.
Everything looked great until I applied some clear-coat, I knew it might darken things a bit, but that purple is darker than I wanted it to be... #%$@!
In the end, this old Alpha Poseable served as a test bed for A) could I match the colors, B) could I make the air-intakes look like a Shadow type and C) is this worth trying again on a Beta or another poseable Alpha.
The answer is yes, only next time with an airbrush, properly made decals, Tamiya/Mr. Hobby paints and something other than clear-coat or just be really careful next time in the future.
@nightmareB4macross That custom VF-1S keeps getting more impressive with each new addition.
