Painting.

Mix of Tamiya X-2, XF-18, XF-19, X-21, and X-22 for top part of the hull.
Preshading just visible under the main colour- perfect!



Mix of Tamiya colours of which the XF-18 was dominant for the bottom of the hull.




Deck painted using mix of XF-64, 66, 24.




All the black bits were painted mix of black, and grey, but it turned darker than expected, so the white filter will have to be applied.
The flat varnish after decals should tone it down a bit too.


Postshaing.
I used the base colour mixed with Tamiya Smoke for the bottom of the saddle tanks, and lower pressure hull, and graually added more smoke, and finally flat black for the lowest point.
