I picked this model up for 10
dollars. It was handpainted until I can pick up an airbrush for my more
expensive models. I initially started by painting the early version but as that
didn't come out too good, I
decided to go for the later green scheme. I used Tamiya acrylics. For panel
lines I used the
charcoal/soap and water method after the first finish was put on.

Used charcoal powder
for weathering. A bit too much finisher was added for the second coat which
added that white effect to the wings but in the end I
think it actually worked for it instead of against it. The legs did not want to
hold too good but after a few days they seem to have stabilized. The only part I'm
not too fond of is the window lines which I
rushed as they were the last thing I
did, and as such they came out much too thick. Overall not bad for ten
dollars and a hand painted job.
