Let me rephrase ... I don't want to remove the streaks, just complete them.

This part would apply then

 Even simpler and faster since you wouldn't be trying to make more realistic looking streaks, use a GM01 Gundam Marker instead and fill the gaps with that and then lightly matte coat locally (with a brush or airbrush) over the area since the ink is fairly glossy and to prevent it from getting rubbed away or smeared on areas you don't want it to be on.

Another alternative if you want to avoid having to apply a clear coat, is to just get a very fine tip brush and matte black paint, dip the brush in and wipe most of it off on a paper towel and then brush on to fill the gap between the streak and the vent holes.

Somehow my VF-0D, arriving by ferry, has entered the USA via Des Moines Iowa.

I live in California.

That's where the interdenominational portal is at.

Ah, yes. The place where they accept all denominations including the church of Water Way Ain'ts where they don't believe in land masses being an obstacle to boats.

My 0D is in the U.S! It went to New Jersey first! Lol

[sqidd]

Anyone know of any 0D's in stock anywhere?

Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. I burned that bridge anyway.

DYRL VF-S has one inbound he doesn't need. I'm assuming it was a SSP credit purchase.

I'm going to put a blue camo Ghost on it. I test fit a grey one this morning.

I know it's not cannon.....but it looks cool!

HLJ still has them, if you're looking for the PF that is.

I ended up getting one from @DYRL VF-1S who has one coming as a replacement for SSP's from NY by boat. If that falls through I'll let you know.

Thanks!

My thoughts exactly. Let’s hope that not everyone else was thinking the same and they actually ship it.

Woo Hoo! My PF OD has finally arrived after it’s tour of the Eastern U.S. Arrived in NJ then went south to Atlanta GA, next up to Kentucky then, likely  driving  literally just past my house, north to Pittsburgh PA, and then finally back to me in WV. Such efficiency, LoL!

Anyway, the OD is gorgeous. Thankfully my weathering is done well. No overly done blotches that I’ve seen on some.  Very happy with my item!

[davidwhangchoi]

congrats Dobber, 

I haven't got to opening my shipping box yet. I need to get to it eventually. 

[spanner]

So good! 

[Silverstreak]

Is the PF still in stock anywhere? HLJ had 2 and I was waiting until I got paid yesterday. Checked just now and they have disappeared sometime in the last week. AARRGGHH. None on Jungle or Manda either.

Not that I'm aware of.. had briefly looked around for a third a little while back but found nothing. Someone might know where though.

Through testing, the streaks can be removed with acrylic thinner or isopropyl alcohol... BUT I don't recommend doing that. It will also remove the black filter sprayed over top the entire valk and reveal a bright light powder blue plastic underneath. You will be going down the same deep dark rabbit hole I just jumped into.

Posted these in the workshop thread but I figured it would be appropriate to share here also after mentioning how I went down that rabbit hole. I couldn't leave it as is anymore and went all in, so I worked on mine a little bit here and there over the span of the past few weeks.

My inspiration being to make it look like this more or less

Absolutely STUNNING custom. You really need to describe how you did it. I didn’t completely get it when you described it before.

Amazing work as always @MacrossJunkie! Man I wish I had half your level of skill! 

I'd love to see you make the 0A look like that! 

[sh9000]

Now that is what you call weathering.

[seti88]

What a beauty! Make up so natural, it doesn’t look like make up..

The 0A is planned. My 0S already does look like this, but I'm waiting to finish the conformal fuel tanks for the legs before I take more pics of it.

Thank you! I'll do a write up for the 0D as well as the one already requested for the 0S.
