Type 16 - WIP
Who can recognize Gundam parts?
My solution for somewhat mirror finish from inside: chrome, than gloss water-based varnish and water based black. The problem is, that usually chrome can create a thin boundary film to hide it`s pigment and create shiny surface. In this case it can`t, but we don`t need perfect results.
Shiny!
Not so bad.
The cracks are from SP glue I guess.

These 2 builds were parallel actually
Periscopes needed masks (the kit has masks you should cut yourself) and also something shiny.
All masks done - side armour sealed.
The smoke launchers can be installed in the end, but it`s a little tricky.
2 working controlled axles
Why not?
All primed.
And now the most confusing part
C516 and C517 are not great, not terrible, but C525..... I start to think it`s from WW2 set, not for modern JSDF. At least it wasn`t that bright in catalogue.
Anyway, with C516 you still need mixing, it doesn`t have enough blue and is quite gray.

Random PenguinTwo attempts to draw camouflage on figures. The first started with beige, the second with bright green. I like the option with a green base more, although it still failed to convey the character and shades of spots. It is more or less obtained only for black spots due to a very bright contrast, which makes it possible to put very small dots. But I hope that after brown wash, the effect will improve and I will probably repaint both in this version.
