Been a long time since I've posted on here. I just started the old AMT B-wing and figured I'd get involved in the forums again.
I taped a toothpick to the back of the cockpit for ease of handling then base coated the cockpit using a mix of Tamiya dark grey and a touch of flat black.
And the pilot
And part of the cockpit frame
After letting the paint dry for about 3 days, I gave the pilot his first coat of Vallejo bright orange. It was my first time using Vallejo paint, so I'm still getting used to how it goes through my AB.
I also started brush painting some of the details in the cockpit. I didn't follow any references, I just wanted to add a little color.
Still have a lot to do. I want to add a few more details in the cockpit. The sides of the seat are sparse, not sure if I should add details or if it'll just be lost when I glue everything together.
Hope to get some more work done next week as I'll be out of town this weekend.
