Gundam MSV - 1/144 - MS-06F Zaku Minelayer -

DSC00537

Bought this way old gunpla purely for a single decal supplied with the kit, a Zabi family symbol which i will be using on Garma's RG MS-06FS Zaku II i'm in the middle of decaling.

Decal number 9 is he decal i require, looks like the Zabi's palace in Zum City. Bit concerned about the white looking yellow, must be over 20 year old decals.

Can find no information as to what decals 11 and 13 are meant to be but these sort of little logos seem to show up on all Zeon MSV kits?

When i come to model a RG MS-06F Zaku Minelayer i wont to copying the paint scheme for the mine laying backpack shown here, will most likely copy the MG kit.

Will also a model an RG MS-06F Zaku Minelayer in the not too distant future, looking at the mine laying backpack it looks like it would only need a little updating to bring in up to spec for a Real Grade Zaku and to look more like the MG version.

Dude, I'm told that if you put the decals in a plastic bag, like a self-sealing one and leave it in the sun (when we get it), it will sorta bleach it out. Haven't tried it myself, but I guess it's worth a try??

Yeah, just been reading up on restoring decals and your one using the sun sounds like the most trusted, sounds like the best way to restore the white.

Trouble is i will have to go on holiday to get any sun unless i wait till June.
