X207: the dull finish is the Tamiya 'Flat Clear' spray, although i recommend the Mr Hobby Flat Topcoat (flat and matt are the same thing)

In terms of quality, they don't seem to be different. The only "different" type of topcoat would be Testors from my experience since it chips a lot easier. |

edit: i got a #49 dull humbrol varnish to dull the finish of the paint. i asked the guy at the hobby shop for spray cans but there wasnt any gunze sangyo. all there was tamiya flat clear but he said it would conflict with the enamel ie frosting. im currently testing it on a paint sample but it should work. i found some empty paint jars but they only had individual plastic or glass jars. it seems hobby shops have stopped stocking empty bottles o.O.

Okay, since we're on the topic of painting, would you guys mind giving me a few beginner tips?
I've built a bunch of models but I haven't really painted any yet. I use Gundam Markers here and there, but can you guys give me some pointers on how to actually paint, and what to use?

thanks, i wasnt worried that much anyway BC they never mentioned missing shipping or payment details aside from a unknown shipping charge. my SD lunamaria zaku arrived less than an hour ago. aside from painting details the only open parts are the 2 outer sections for the buster rifle that require filling. surprisingly the hands require no filling as they're completly molded to include the details.

What the hell is a I Gundam Kai? Never ever heard of that one. What are those things on the back? Cannons? Boosters? |

That is the Reborns Gundam's prototype.
From what I've read, the Reborns Gundam was actually formed from two different prototypes, being a normal Gundam-esque suit and a Guncannon-esque suit. That one is the Gundam prototype. Don't know whats on its back though. Looks kinda like GN Sword IIIs. |
