Comment
My painting bugs is biting me thus I have sprayed 2 Master Grade in one go and now this garage kit is done in about a week plus time. Painting is done in one and a half day time but most of the time is spent on test fitting and puttying this kit.

I bought this kit online from e2046. The casting of this kit is somewhat old and has tons of seam lines and fitting problems. Moreover, her pose making the figure to stand steadily is tough. The kit portrayed Rei in her swimsuit thus she has a lot of expose skin. Painting the correct flesh tone is another tough part. The last challenge is painting her umbrella in alternating red and white. I could not think of any other alternative other than relying on my pitiful hand brushing skill.

Comparing to my first kit (Takai Sayaka Flora Mint), this kit is much more challenging to build.

Construction Note
For this kit, I took tons of pictures and I could not fit all those step onto this page. So, I split it out into a separate article located at "The Making Of Rei Ayanami Race Queen".
