>>5429862Some SD's are actually tons of work to do properly, this kit was one of the most challenging I've done due to the trim. If you're just starting out I'd suggest trying lots of different techniques and paint types on your SD so you can take that experience to another kit you care more about.
If you just try to do a basic paint job that's fine, I tried hard on my first kit too, but I think if I could go back I would do something like different brands of paints per limb, masking, different layers of paint etc. just to get more knowledge and experience which is what you lack in the beginning.
