Is it good for keeping decals on Gundam Models?

Honestly, the last thing I would use on decals ,is cement! There is, however, something called DECAL SETTING SOLUTION that softens the decal and helps with adhesion. Also after the decal is applied, you can use something called MICRO SOL . You just paint it on over the decal& it helps with silvering and gives the decal a painted on look!MICRO SET, and MICRO SOL, should both be available at your local hobby shop, but you can definitely find it online.

In my experience this is really for plastic parts. For keeping decals on you should get a bottle of clear, like Tamiya Flat Clear XF86 and just seal the decal to the model.

Weapons get fiddly mostly because your going to be sandwich casting them. Which leads to lots of flashing and strange lines from you putty. Jot saying it can't be done but your Bette off RTV moulding and 2 part resin casting. You'll get better results. All that as side, for action figures 6"+ a one off copy it will do the job. &gt;1" ie wahammer/war machine/pathfinder models its going to be more effort trying to clean up a cloned part with out destroying the part.

Hello, I use to build model cars (amt) many years ago and I think that it will work.Last year I purchased a large Frog decal from Amazon that the paint could not be in contact with any type of moisture.Well the decal was for the bathroom and would have been in contact with moisture every day.I purchased this lacquer...gave the decal a few lite coats and the Frog remains in perfect condition,paint remains perfect and intact.This spray dries very quickly,just spray the model evenly (as you already know),let it dry,apply 2nd coat.There is a good possibility it may not require a 2nd coat! I Hope that this helps You.

It release for such a long time but till now it is still one of the best MG GUNDAM model. Also its mate MKII musha Gundam is also pretty good(the blue one). Recommended!

Hi, As far as I know you can paint any clean surface with this paint. My son uses it for all his models plastic, metal, and wood. But always make sure first, try a spot inside or on the bottom before you start any project. Linda

You need yo paint the hull but it has decals for most if the details.only problem is the decals it comes with are terrible and don't come off the paper easily

You should not need to paint any gundam models (especially MG ones) unless they are really old. This kit has great colors right out of the box so unless you just don't like the shade of color the answer is no. The only pieces some people choose to paint are the "gold" parts that come in more of a dull bronze unless you buy the upgraded version of this kit with more stuff.

Yes. Not much. It took me less than 15 mins to aassemble it and apply the decals.

I haven't tried to, but I think it'll depend on what type of paint you put on it. I've honestly never seen "painted" holds. I've seen plastic holds that are already colored, not painted.I'd rather keep them the way they are. They look more real and fun this way.

It is very resistant to scratches. The Glosscote will dissole the decal and make it part of the painted surface. CAUTION BECAUSE IT ACTS LIKE A SOLVENT ANY CLEAR PLACIC PARTS WILL BE PERMANTLY FOGGED HENCE RUINED. If possible add the clear plastic parts after the Glosscote has dried for 24 hrs or sometimes you are forced into adding the plastic parts during the assembly. Cover the clear plastic parts with Tamiya's masking tape during the painting and glosscoating. Good tip on any clear plastic partsuse Pacer's Formula 560 Canopy Glue applied with a wooden toothpick. Unlike plastic cements this is not a solvent so if you get any excess Canopy Glue you can remove it with clear water and start over again. It takes 3 hours minimum to set up and 24 hours to reach it's maximum strength. Concerning the dust issue there is no way around it. After several months all models will get dusty. Remove dust with water and Q Tips. Initial application of Glosscote should be done in a dust free room with a sheet of paper behind the model Do the bottom first then the top part and allow to dry for a minimum of 24 hours with a minimum air circulation( you want the Glosscoat to dissolve the decals onto the paint finish. A very small portion of the aircraft will stick to paper which the model is on. These surfaces are the wheels so remove paper slowly and gently by hand. Hope this helps

Its 1/100 but its not the best representation of the Freedom Gundam, I would stay away from this figure it looks really bad. Bad paintjob, bad proportions (specifically the arms).

The models do not need to be painted. They look a lot like the model in the description or from the Space Battleship Yamato 2199 animated series. The 1/160 scale Gamilan planes that are the bonus kits do require painting.

In the past I have tried that and the plastic from model became soft...like the paint was too strong. To be safe I would stick with paint made for models.

Hi, well the model only comes with the self adhesive decals, and everything else is pure plastic pieces. Need to but the paint in different colors. It includes a guide for them. Have a good one!

if your decal sticks well enough, then you should be ok. ...I used about 100 stickers, and also printer paper, with rubber cement, worked great. The bigger issue is the size of your decal, since the board has to be folded twice, and may cause your decal to tear or crease too much. hope that helps
