Awesome model. Is Mr. Color the lacquer-based Gunze Sangyo paint? I wish they sold that where I lived, as the shine is really good from looking at your model

Yup, Mr Color is the lacquer-based Gunze Sangyo. And they are only 3.50 CDN a bottle from where I live (Just a tap more than Tamiya paint).
The paint is tough when dry and perfect for handbrushing as well.

My polishing process is...
1. Meguiar's Fine-Cut Cleaner - to smooth out the paint and roughness
2. Mequiar's Hand polish - to polish up the surface
3. 3M Imperial Hand Glaze - to fill the scratchs and give it a nice shine
4. Pinnacle Souveran Wax - to protect the surface and magnifies the shine.

Those are the car care stuff I bought long time ago for my car. ANd they seem to last forever so I guess I might as well use them for models.
