Painting:
It
starts with a pre-shading of all the panel lines and
after the dark paint had dried I applied white paint on the smaller
areas taking care not to cover the the pre-shaded panel lines.
At
this point it was time to apply the sea blue and then the intermediate blue.
To highlight the panels and
give the air of a faded looking plane the blue colors were applied very
carefully to let the darker panel line shading and the lighter colored
panels to show through.

A
clear gloss coat was applied and we are ready for decaling, which must be carefully
done with the help of liquid microsale
to avoid the annoying effect silvering.
After
the decals another coat of clear and I applied a
black oil wash with burnt Siena over the whole model. Then a small
amount of drybrush and small swipes of a brush with
metallic colors for the aging effect.
In
the third part of this article
I will
explain the diorama, I hope that my advice can be of help to other modellers.
