You could always try and repaint it.

 

[jutty]

Tamiya acrylic should be fine.
Or keep your eyes open for parts.
I always pick up cool stuff like this when people are selling. You never know when it's going to come in handy.

Knowing my luck if i did try to paint it id probably bugger it up lol

I never seen the v1.0 does it have Tony face?

 

[TheVictor11]

It certainly does

Blah, their head sculpts sucked a big one back in the day.

Guess I will be buying that one. I have the 1st arc that is picture on the left. Hmmm anyone know where I can just buy the head at? Thinking about it. No need to have two of them.

They did indeed, lol. Reasonably close, sculpting wise, but the painting has definitely improved over time.
But other heads can fit in the helmet. I shoehorned one of the TTM19 heads into an empty helmet once. So it can be done if you find a head/face you prefer more than the Cheadle sculpt(Or the empty one).

There's an aspect of it's correctness to proportion and mass that just isn't noticeable in photos. It's SO much better than the old Mark II in that respect but in photos you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between them.

This was before I did the neck mod which improves the appearance of the head quite a bit but even I had to look at my own photo for a couple seconds to figure out which was which.

Someone that is selling what?

 

[jutty]

The paint colour for this is gunmetal grey right? not dark silver or such

 

[dedguy]

No it's a high polish metallic silver, not gray.
