any ideas , about 200 US budget, need a christmas present for myself

I'd get the IJ and/or Sinanju. Sinanju is just insanely beautiful and the IJ is pretty cool as well if you want something dynamic. But, you cant really go wrong with the Unicorn either. The Ver. Ka's will take more skill and time to complete though

Why is Kyrios' Trans-am tinted with orange? All the other gundams have diverse colors, but in Trans-am they are all red, so why is Kyrios in an orange tint?

[LoweGear]

Kyrios did have an orange tint during Trans-Am...

Not to the extent the model is showing it...

Spoiler:

[LoweGear]

You can still see the parts that are orange though, and you can see that the red on the Kyrios is darker than the orange parts even in Trans-Am . Maybe they could've made the orange on the model a little bit redder to better reflect the image, but it's a very minor detail at best, no use fussing over it

I'm currently using nail clippers for the job too but sanding down the nurbs tend to ruin the surface of the parts as well.

So there are gunpla sandpaper like gundam markers as well?

Scroll down to dry transfer decals.

1. cut around the decal
2. place tap on top of the decal
3. place decal on model
4. scratch the decal onto the model

you should also do a few test applications first to get the idea of how it works, because once its on you cant take it off with out messing it up.

hope i explained it well enough

Great help guys. Going to try it out now.

I believe the trans-am paint they use is very much a red/orange color. To other colors it will darken but to an orange color of Kyrios it stays the same. Just the way the paint is.

[LightningZERO]

Probably just some error

I agree that Trans-Am Kyrios does look too orange-ish

[vektar]

if worse comes to worse you can always paint the kyrios to look more red.

I agree on both counts, especially for not showing us Trans-am Dynames.
