Using mechanical primer was the root of all my problems. I applied multiple coats of red paint, but the color remained brownish until the fourth coat, when it finally started to look reddish. I'm stopping here for today. I had watched videos about the base coat color and opacity, but I realized that you can't truly understand something until you make a mistake yourself. I feel bad for Char's Zaku. I wanted to put a person in the palm of my hand, so I placed a 1/144 figure on it for the photo. It's hard to see because the person is sitting, but I gave up on putting a standing person in place because it would require fixing them in place. This model kit taught me a lot.
