Tornado model

[Skii]

Now I've got the flat sorted, I can get on with the old model kits again

So this is the beginning of a 1/48 Tornado GR4, its a resin Tornado IDS cockpit by Neomega which I've converted into a GR4 pit by adding some extra screens and bits, this will be added to the kit to substitute the less detailed kit version.

How did you paint it, I like the kind of use effect, how you get that? Dry brush?

Thats pre-shading mate.

Imagine if you painted a black cross on a wall, then tried to paint the whole wall white with only one coat - you would still see cross showing through as a darker colour - same technique

I prime the whole thing in white, then airbrush all the panel lines in black. Then when you coat the whole model in a thin layer of your chosen colour, the darker paint shows through around the panel lines - and this is the result
