New loot and advice please :)
Greetings to everyone!
New loot for me!
- Kasumi Blue Ver. by Monsieur Bome and Kaiyodo ( A gift from my aunt from HK) I haven't seen or hear this one before, but my cousin knows I like Kasumi so here.
- PG Astray Red Frame ( Bought by my dad from their recent trip to HK) He had a hard time looking for this one, lo and behold, he found one of these babies!
- 1/100 Heavy Arms Custom ( asked my friend to buy one for me whenever he finds one) Its also hard to get a hand on one of these nowadays.
Anyways, I'm also kindly asking for any help and advice.
1) I've noticed that over time, the shiny stickers tend to fade. I'm not sure, but I think that the chrome painted parts tend to fade over time as well. SO.... What can I do to protect the chrome painting of my Astray. Will Top Coat Gloss help to protect it from fading and scratches?
2) I'll be going to Japan on May. By chance, is there any store where I can find Gundam replacement parts? I particularly lost one of my Wing Zero Custom's feathers. The thing is, this one is the pearl coating ver. with the translucent wings, so I don't know if I can still find any.
Any help will be much appreciated :D

if you can't find replacement parts
Either chrome or metallic coating will lose its shininess if you put a layer of topcoat, yes even if that's a gloss version.
I don't mean completely but it won't be as same or better
Thanks :) I'm worried that leaving it as is, the chrome plating will naturally fade away
Pretty sure these guys ship internationally, try www.gundamstoreandmore.com they have a parts ordering section that just went up. It was delayed last time I checked due to many people ordering but that sounds like your best bet.
Good luck
The only store I know that sells parts is Yellow Submarine.
Thank you everyone :) I will try checking those sites out :)
