I got stuck on the OraZaku kit I've been working on since Golden Week, so I started this one as a change of pace and to reduce my backlog of unbuilt kits, but a masking nightmare awaited me.

The shield requires painting the Federation mark and the edge, and the instep of the feet requires painting separately.

There are stickers included for this, but I hate foil stickers, so I decided to do it this way (see my Gelgoog Menas post for my history with foil stickers).
The white and red parts are this!

I think this is the first time I've used a dedicated color for a dedicated kit (lol).
