Typical fare with this one.
A fair bit of care, attention, dry fitting and sanding and it goes together well.

Primed with Tamiya Neutral Grey.

Painted with Colourcoats Interior Grey Green, Extra Dark Sea Grey, Sky S Type, FAA/RAF Red andFAA/RAF Yellow, Tamiya Flat Aluminium, Rubber Black, Nato Black, Khaki, Italian Red, Clear Red, Clear Green and Clear Yellow.

Washed with Flory Dark Dirt, Citadel Nuln Oil, Seraphim Sepia and a mix of Windsor and Newton Burnt Umber and Burnt Sienna thinned with Lighter fluid.

Finished with Windsor & Newton Galeria Satin and Gloss Varnishes.

Thanks for looking,

Cheers,
Alistair
