As a final touch I dry-brushed AK True Metal Steel Oil Paint (AK-457) over the raised areas particularly the road wheels.Īll the tools and such received a coat of Vallejo Model Color Gun Metal followed AK Interactive Light and Dark Rust washes. When this was dry, excess was removed with White Spirits (Mona Lisa).įor the final flat coat I used god ole’ Testors Dullcote (1260) which gives a nice flat finish. Tamiya Black Panel Liner (Item-87131) was applied with a small brush.

Of note, test fitting of the upper and lower hulls results in a very tight fit so tight they can’t easily be separated. Tamiya Thin cement was used to close a few seems and ensure some of the smaller details wouldn’t come off with handling.
