I’m still fighting with black colour.
First I painted whole model NATO Black (Tamiya XF-69), then some panels and lines were painted gray (XF-19) and brown (XF-64).



Then I painted model highly diluted black colour (XF-1)



I think it’s very interesting effect. I have to paint a bit more some places and whole nose section :slight_smile:

I found that this plane didn’t have stars below the cockpit, so I painted them over. And lower surface:

Really nice build, and the method to get the black looks like it worked. Great colour… Looks very mean in black :+1:
