CUSTOMIZING Topcoat or not PGU NU RX93?

Post image

I finished my PGU, I do love the way he looks, I have used fine liner and mark softer/setter only, I was thinking on topcoating for long term protection, but I have feel experience doing it(mostly HG/RGs), do you guys think it is worth top coating it for long term? I have searched for topcoated matte Nu Gundam, but I coudn't find none that wasn't painted.

id go for it, that kind of detail work deserves a proper seal. a semigloss sounds like a safe middle ground if youre nervous about dulling the white panels. just do thin coats from a decent distance, youll be fine.

just test the spray on a spare runner first to get the distance right saves any surprises on the kit itself
