Pre-shading was recovered with NATO green.

I raided my wifes scrapping scissors set for one that would cut out waves that I used for the stencil. The stencil was attached with rolled tape that held it just a little bit off of the surface. This gave it a little bit of overspray and helped blend the colors. The belly was then painted Tamiya's sky and pre-shaded with light sea grey and recoated with sky.



This was my first time using pre-shading on models. And I must say I am happy with the results so far. It will not be my last time for sure. I can also see the benefit of running two air brushes at the same time. I will need to get my Aztek running for the next project and use it for the base coats and the Paache for the preshading as I feel right now I have better control of the paint with it.
The next step on this will be markings and then some light weathering.
