I finished this kit about 4 or 5 months ago but have just now gotten around to shooting it.
It was painted with Tamiya Acrylics and weathered with oils and pigments. The orange markings were done using the hairspray technique. In future with colours such as orange I'll use masking fluid as when I wet the paint to release it, the orange bled into the base coat and stained it a bit. Not to badly, but not as clean as I'd like.
Little extras I added were cockpit seat belts made with Tamiya masking tape and dressed up with some Gundam waterslide decals which were also used for some of the cockpit controls.
The paint is a bit rough in spots where I missed buffing the primer coat but overall overall I'm happy with the result.
Cheers.
