Looks great. Will you then paint the figure from the outside? The figures are tough for me to paint myself to the standards I want.

[muck]

very cool!

Have you ever tried brake fluid to remove paint.

Looking forward to your resto, Paul. However, to be honest--the Ultima's decal set has to be one of the ugliest color combos ever. What were Kyosho thinking? "Let's use peanut butter & banana sandwich for the new Ultima color scheme!" Urgh...if it were me back in the 80's, if I built an Ultima, I probably wouldn't even have used the main decals, instead I might've gone with a red-and-something paint scheme emphasizing the red shocks...or used an X-acto to remove the brown parts from the decals.

Since the decals have a lot of brown, who can fault the kid for painting it brown? At any rate, it *does* look better with white.

Ha - peanut butter and banana .

I really like the Ultima Pro green and yellow scheme.
