Update 1

We’ve painted the bases with shining black, we weren’t sure whether to paint the relief logo with metallic blue or gold. As you may notice, the cabin’s pieces are very small. We’ve used an Euro coin to give you an idea of its proportions.

The next photogallery will show you some. We have not much work to be added to the painting job: match rust touches up, damages on the fuselage and a couple of tones for the back side.

Altough this is a tiny model (11’50 cm. from the rear engine to the end of the cannons), it doesn’t lack any detail. This japanese guys make awesome stuff!!

To finish the three models we need just 4 pilots to be included and some fake damages for the samllest one (9`50 cm).

The cockpits are prepared to stand open or closed to customer’s taste. In this picture you can appreciate the tones and colours of this two models. Even though they’re exactly the same model, the different base colours and aging effects give them a very different final look.

Now we have the four pilots painted and finished. We can’t go further with such a tiny models. We’ve painted black and yellow marks and scraped the wing’s edge of the Snaptite model, in orden to simulate laser impacts. We finally choosed to add more rust to its fuselage too.

The weathering on these kits is stunning!

How did you achieve it? Really beautiful work. Just goes to show you how far a great paint job can take a build. Much to learn here.
