MG Wing Gundam My current work in progress. Nice kit that happens to be one of the cheapest MG kits available. My wife doesn’t like the standard Gundam color palette (RBYW), so I had to make sure that this one didn’t look “the same” as all the other ones on the shelf.
Depends on the kit for me, usually. For MG kits the color separation tends to be pretty accurate already anyway, so unless I’m doing a custom paint job (like the Wing Zero Snow White I posted a while back) I tend to leave the external colors alone, but paint the pilot minis. For HG and SD kits that don’t have the same degree of color separation, though, I’ll add paint to try to replicate the intended color scheme.
