Completed on Sunday, Hasegawa's 1:72 YF-21 from M+. I gave up some of the decals because I don't like the yellow and grey on the decals. The blue (GSI H15) is also lighter than the suggested one.

Agreed, VERY nice! Now I need to dig out mine and get to work on it!

I was looking at some of the other models on your site, and I must say that they are fantastic! I especially like the real-world military color schemes on your Gundams. The green/tans are gorgeous.

One question -- what effect are you trying to show on your L.E.D. Mirage page, near the bottom? You paint a piece with several colors before giving it an overcoat of very opaque white. I understand that the glow from the undercoats makes a new effect, but what are you trying to simulate there?

The L.E.D. Mirage is sort of an experiment in simulating semi-transparent effects. Volks and Wave released some (semi-)transparent resin kits of the L.E.D. Mirage and K.O.G. but they are very expensive and hard to get. Thus I used my solid L.E.D. Mirage and tried to simulate the effect. Although the experiment is not a success, I concluded that the idea could work but I need more patience and a better airbrush. (Mine is 0.3mm but it cannot deliver some subtle effects that can be done using an airbrush.)
