    Masked and painted de-icing boots with Tamiya Rubber Black. Masked around fabric surfaces and faded them with a mix of Tamiya Flat Clear and Flat White. Might be a bit too subtle on some of the surfaces, but I didn't want to overdo it.

    Very nicely painted de-icing boots, Aldo @aldog
    The shaded fabric surfaces do look great as well.
