After the paint had dried I was eager to see if the time-consuming masking I engaged in was worth the effort.
Here’s some pics of where I’m at so far.
My Delta Plus decals are on their way from Samuel Decal but I couldn’t resist putting this guy together to see how he looked.
Not bad if I do say so myself. You can see where I placed some of the aftermarket nozzles that I picked up when working on the HG G Gundam. They fit perfectly as well. I did round a couple corners slightly but they went in and stayed without having to use any glue.
There is one more section I wanted to use aftermarket parts on. The legs. I removed the seam-line on the big cylinder on the front of the leg but felt that, with the large amount of leg frame still showing, that it needed something more. I had some leftover aftermarket parts that were used on the Gunpla TV episode with the pink Geara Zulu, so I sprayed them with a coat of Smoke, and then glued them into the holes I drilled on the legs.

now looks like this:
Now I’ve got to do something with that gun.
Nice use of aftermarket parts, looks sweet.
The markings and all are great, but for me the great winner is the main color you choose for him. Is i a dark blue? Because it justs looks perfect on δ Plus.
Hi Yuri,
Sorry for the late reply. The blue is Tamiya TS-53 Deep Metallic Blue and the darker color is TS-64 Dark Mica Blue.
LOOKS GREAT!!
LOVE the S2 that was masked on the outside of bot backfin/wing/binderthingslol
Those detail parts made a great difference. With the masking, has that bled under the tape, or chipped when you’ve unmasked?
Some parts bled under the tape but as I maskedover the plastic I can use a knife and scrape it away if I feel the need to. I should be able to start decaling in a few days.
