About 10 years ago I bought the RX78-2 V1.15 MG, and shortly after received the Zaku II for my birthday. They are both hand painted, some acrylics for weathering and some of the small details on the RX78-2, and oil paints for the shading on the Zaku II.
I’m eagerly awaiting the new RX-78-2 V3.0, which looks to be a superb kit, and I’ll be building a PG Char’s Zaku II too. These are both great looking classic mech designs.
