Well, the Eagle is done and dusted. Thinking of displaying her in a similar fashion to my Hawks, mounting it on the wall in a shadow box. The real trick is finding one that fits the model's dimensions.
I guess after clearning the workbench I should get cracking on my next project...
I opened mine last night. The blue is certainly a good match for what I saw on TV, and I'd consider going over it with some sort of matte clear but there are swirls visible from the molding process.

There were a few of the Yamato 2199 models that had a very unique color that seemed hard to get right so I use some Testor's dull coat on the bare plastic and them weathered like normal.
They turned out well enough and it is hard to tell they are not painted with a traditional base coat
But yeah, if there are any gaps that need to be filled or surface issues then paint may be better
This show I use to watch as a kid but never new the name of it and didn’t even know where to begin to find it. God Phoenix didn’t ring a bell as it’s been years but this photos did. Now off to YouTube to see how my memory of this show has held up! Thanks for sharing that photo and I look forward to ur new build. Beautiful work by the way!
