Also a quick look at the console going forward as I noticed I missed this before. I know I have a bit of overspray to clear up but this is a simple 2 minute job!
Once the two tone Ghost Grey scheme was finished, The canopy sections were sprayed with NATO Black at first and then finished in H307 (Grey). The reason the NATO Black is sprayed first is to darken the inside of the canopy to make it look realistic.
The model is posed here looking very clean indeed but I think it is starting to come together? The majority of the paint scheme has now been completed. The engine fan blades were painted by hand using a mix of Tamiya XF-56 (Metallic Grey) and Tamiya X-26 (Clear Orange) which gives a dull metallic look without looking too over the top. Prior to leaving over night, two coats of Johnson’s Klear were applied through the airbrush and left to dry.
We are now ready to start the decaling…
