I got this bad boy as a birthday gift from a buddy of mine. I already had one built and painted (basecoated green with Tamiya spray only) a few years back in which I decided to take a different path for this model.
I started the project a few weeks back and have yet to continue since then due to some major workload in the office for a project that should be launching sometime this week. I was looking forward to continuing the basecoat touch up in the evenings which proved difficult since there were plenty do to at home at the moment. I look forward to continue working with this over the coming long Raya weekend together which the Dark Talon which I have done some progress prior to the work above.
Assembling the model was tricky since there were a lot of the parts were molded thin and for some reason does not snap in accurately, compared to the previous build. Probably since I was in a way rushing when building this model. This, however, gave me a good try on learning how to use putty (Tamiya putty in this case) to smooth some of the poorly done joints.
Also for this build, I decided to go with the Deathwing colour scheme as the previous one was done in the standard green. I have added some Dark Angel icons here and there.
Hopefully, I should be able to make good progress on this model, the Dark Talon and the Land Raider which is still not complete. Also, I need to do more work on Sammael which needs a few more touch up.

Those are mighty big guns! I always thought that Macross/Robotech stuff came pre-painted. I guess I was wrong. Looking forward to your progress on this cool looking piece. :)
Where did you get this model?
Sorry for the late reply. I got my first one from a figure shop in near Hatten hotel Melaka. The second one is a birthday gift from a buddy of mine. I also last saw them in Time Machine in Berjaya Times Square level 2
