I redone here or there the shading along some lines (which had disappeared during the hair lacquer operation) . It is made with highly diluted gray panzer XF63.
I also shaded a little the white decals that brought out too much.
Dirt streaks are made with dark gray oil paint, enhanced with black in the center of the impacts.
I think it cannot be well see in the pictures, but as soon as there is almost no paint on the brush, I tapped the surface randomly, to add some more texture to this beast.
All this is sealed under a layer of matt varnish.
The pilot is painted like the mk 2 one (they have abeen made at the same time).
So the combination is green Xf73 Tamiya dark green,
the folds with a darker green,
and a veil of Alclad pale gold.
It is conventionally finished with brush paints.
The chair is in a dark gray (near black). He then received a black tamiya and brown wahes to give it a leather look.
The base is built in the same way as the mk2.
The character and the canopy held in place without any glue.
