hrm, actually, is this a licensing issue? OG Macross not allowed on the english store?

But there's no purchase option.

Anyway, in case anyone's wondering, HLJ and GSC list a MSRP of 36,852 JPY. Amiami's MSRP is 39,800, which is the MSRP + local sales tax (8%).

Amiami

Our Price: 32,980 JPY

I wouldn't know how to even attempt to paint this with a normal airbrush, I think you're more into the territory of like professional grade spray equipment for something this big.

^ Okay, so I might be wrong about this, but just hear me out.

I think you might need bigger paint cups for those.

 

 

More seriously, though, someone mentioned rattle cans earlier, and I wonder if this kit might actually justify the crazy amount of paint those things shoot out.

expect to have to touch-up with your regular airbrush, but it shouldn't be too hard.

I know car modelers who use rattlecans, and I envy their results... if they can get that showroom shine out of a rattlecan there IS a way! I just don't know what it is...

the easiest way for something this big is to use Spray cans like the Tamiya TS cans. For weathering and smaller details,you can use the normal airbrush.  On scales such as this that spray cans make economic sense (unless of course you already have some pro airbrush appropriate for bigger scales).
