it was absolutely botched
>first time painting anything in the scale of gunpla
>white paint used on the legs didn't flow right through the airbrush because it was cheap acrylic craft paint and really old besides
>15 year old bottle of dark green paint kept reactivating
>light green was way lighter than I expected
>brand "new" package of tamiya weathering pigments was dried out
but it's a two and a half decade old kit that went half-assembled for 15 years so it deserved to at least be completed. I'm not going to strip and repaint it. The craft paint was an experiment that yielded very mixed results. Most were unusable garbage, while others merely needed more coats for good coverage. I should have tested on spoons before painting an actual kit with them, but I am new to gunpla and was rushing things like a dummy.
