So anyone familiar with the Astray MG kits knows theres 2 blue frame kits. I orginaly bought the Blue Frame (the most recent one) but really wanted the tactical arms (giant sword) that came with the first release. Ended up finding the sword and the guy I bought it from threw in the whole (built) kit for like 10 bucks extra so I decided to pick it up too. Unfortunately the guy did a really bad job detailing and finishing the kit. The V-fin was broken, the panel lines were done badly all in black and really thick, even worse than that he botched trying to remove nub marks with a file that clealy wasnt meant for plastics. Since im pretty new to the whole model kit thing I figure I'd give rehabbing this Kit a try and heres my progress.
Before I did any work
Repaired V-fin, re done panel lining on the head.
Fixed the botched nub mark removals and added subtle panel lines to the legs. looks a lot better now in my opinion
Side View after more lines on arms and legs and torso
Current Situation. Going to clean up some of the lines and then matte top coat it.
