HG 1/144 W-Gundam Zero custom

This kit have been hanging around so long that the wings got yellow.End a year or two in my closet due to the above issue but while doing some house keeping in preparation for CNY, i saw it lying sadly in a corner and i decide to give a try restoring it.
Firstly i spray paint the wings silver to cover those yellowing runners and then panel the wings, face and legs.Removed some stickers too and painted them in respective colors like the shoulder and the mouth piece.During the process of dismantling parts for painting, broke its cheek but it still holding up nicely if you dont move it around, so i didnt apply Tamiya cement.The end result looks presentable to be displayed again, but some previous mistake i made years ago while building this kit is still glaringly fugly upon close inspection...

switching on the flash to hide its flaws in overexposure =x
