I took one of the primer grey photos into photoshop and messed about until I had something pleasing for a paint scheme. I then looked at the model carefully and thinking about the masking involved went back into photoshop and slightly simplified the graphic elements to make masking possible. Below is the final rough colour design.
The finished result on the model can be seen below.
The off white and reddish orange paint is MTN94 spray cans, my new favourite paint. It is designed for graphiti artists, sprays really evenly and dries with a matt finish. The slate grey wing edges is a rustoleum spray can.
The weathering is an oil wash brushed on and then wiped off with a rag to leave streaks in a logical direction.
Dry brushing folowed with a white artists acrylic paint.
Small rectangles of stick on vinyl in black white and red were then stuck on along with some decals from old model kits. The decals had a gloss water based coat brushed on first before application and then were over sprayed with a clear matt coat to seal them in once dried.
Finished with 2 days to spare for WASMEx 2026.
Thanks for looking.
