The main issue with this toy is the head. There is a distinct seam line right through the middle of the head. It's as if Voltron had cleaved him right through the middle of the head using Voltron's 'blazing sword'. The fix for this is rather simple. Just apply model cement on the seams. Compress the seams tightly together such that they form a permanent bond. Then file the part smooth and spray the area. The tricky part is that the body and the head is no longer of exactly the same white tone :( Luckily after some 'dirtying', the colour difference is not obvious.
I also 'drilled' holes into the head machine guns. It's not difficult to do, just need to do slowly and with care so as not to break off the thin plastic.

As with VF-1J, panel lining was done by doing a grey wash, followed by a white wash to produce the smoky effect. The weathering was done using pastel chalk, silver model kit paint and colour pencils.
