Asking once again:

I have a kit that after over a year of proudly displaying on my shelf, I realized I could've done much better. I want to revisit it (redo some panel lining and fill gaps, mostly, maybe airbrush a couple details), but I already applied flat topcoat.
Should I strip the top coat? What's the best way to do it? Or should I just try filling gaps and panel lining with the topcoat on and then do another layer or two?

Stripping is the worst part of this hobby by far.

Unless you are broke, its probably better to just buy a new kit. Its unlikely that stripping will remove the panel lining, because lining tends to stain the plastic.

You can't fill gaps on a kit that is not painted, unless your filler matches the color of the kit, and even then it probably won't work.

What kit is it, I want to see!
If it's an old friend and you were proud of how it turned out, might be neat to keep him as-is and just get a new kit while still fondly having the old one as a special friend. I'm sort of anticipating that it's not a grunt suit but still. It'd have its own charm by being an arguably "less" or "worse" job but still proudly standing next to recent and more detailed builds. Hopefully it's not an expensive kit, at the very least.

I mostly just want to fill the seams in the legs and arms. I recently started doing that with my newer models, and it's so easy I want to go back to my previous ones and do it. This is one of the few that I top coated since I didn't think I'd want to change anything at the time.

An easy way to strip paint or topcoat is some isoproyl alcohol and a toothbrush, give it a soak and start scrubbing.
A second one is dirt cheap on Mandarake though so I'd just grab a new one and go nuts with that, or instead get her the matching Grandma who's also about 3kish yen on there and fix her up.

Then it really depends on how much patience you have. Online webstores tend to have sales during the holidays, and if you're lucky you can save probably 15-20% more during Black Friday or so.

Whenever I order online, I do so in bulk, to save on shipping costs. It tends to matter more for things like paints though.

No no no no no
I've done all of this with Gundam Marker
I'm not taking them off their stands for you but I did panel-line Mazinkaiser with a humble pour-type black marker. It has details in the shoulders, chest, head, sword, and even pilder, and panel-lining them really makes the details pop.
I SHOULD learn to paint but I have not. But in any case, you can delay getting paint for now. You probably could hand-paint those details but I haven't tried this.

If the "performance" is the ability to build unpainted kits without noticeable stress marks and the nipper basically can't do that (like the picture shows), what difference does the price make?

Yes, it is a stress mark and there is nothing wrong with the lighting.

Here's a different, out of focus shot I didn't use in the collage. You can see the stress on both sides of the cut pretty clearly.
In any case, I did that test with my own hands and I can confirm that the DSPIAE nipper is basically dull compared to any GH.

After applying it, yeah, but after that it sticks fine, I think topcoat helps preserve it though. While applying, you can rub it off with a q-tip or your fingers and some rubbing alcohol or sanitizer. There's probably better ways to do this, but I just apply, rub with my fingers, reapply because I rubbed too much off, rerub, etc.
And apparently you shouldn't use it after building, since if it gets into gaps, it might cause cracks?

This kit's approach to arm and shoulder articulation certainly is original.

Personally I think Wave should stick to what they do best (which is making sanding sticks) and leave plastic model manufacturing to Koto or Bandai.

7 polycaps per leg is kind of impressive.

nta but I grabbed my dispae and tested, now granted I didn't treat this one super well as it was my first single blade so it's probably a bit fucked bit it does do similar stressmarks, it's a 30mm alto if you're wondering

Do yourself a favor and glue those wrist polycaps to the hands.
They're insanely weak, even on the original Academy version.

Is the 1/100 golden warrior and Osiris aerial dominator worth the money and risk? Bootlegs rarely seem to work out for me.

You'd think a kitchen knife sharpener has no use in plastic modelling, but then you realize that it's basically a large flat diamond file, 400 grit or so. Very useful when you want to keep a side of a part perfectly flat. Especially well suited for wet sanding resin.

Usually when you see third parties with very good reviews, they are GOOD. I rarely have a middling experience with chink shit and ive been buying/building a ton of them recently.

I can vouch for Golden Warrior. It's pretty good.

Also heard Osiris is pretty much MGEX quality according to the reviews. Too rich for my blood though.

I can vouch for the golden warrior too, spent a few weeks working on it and it is a very good kit

I still won't crack open the Osiris, I plan to work on something else first

i saw an anone some threads ago showing this airbrush with i believe a hobby mio portable air compressor? I have some questions about this set up. How good is the air brush itself compared a regular styled one and how long does the battery last?

This is so cool... I at least want more articulation than just the head and arm swivels, but seeing them all nice and detailed is really impressive, especially with a cool background like that.

VSMS kits are very high quality but the build process is a bit of a pain
The clear plastic is very hard and brittle, and Volks' gate marks are huge, so cutting off nubs takes some patience
Polishing and surface prep is also extremely important, and fuckups are very difficult to fix because you have to paint straight over the clear plastic with no primer
The joint parts are ABS and require ABS cement, a huge pain in the ass to deal with in my experience

Also, painting GTMs is an unforgiving endeavor, your paintjob has to be perfectly even and consistent because the translucent armor will make any inconsistency in the paintjob glaringly obvious, and paint mixing is a required skill if you don't live in Asia where you can buy Volks' custom paint mixes, or import them from China.
