Kuhn Global-Hero X Wing build up

[Hand Solo]

^ That's how I've been approaching it. I've shot Red 5 with gray in spots, red in spots and black in spots. Some areas will be left bare resin.

Before the color coat, the X was looking like a Redneck bird..

Cuz they only used what they have for the X-Wing. Black or dark gray primer
But I love the effect of the black coat when you sand gently the top coat with steel wool .

As stated that pic is in no way anything concete as to what stage that ship was in at the time of painting and when things things were primed. Things get built,test fitted, puttied, primed etc. Who know what stage that thing is and the final color coats went down.

The main advantage of painting the whole thing black is that it can get rubbed down and the nice black edges for weathering to come through naturally.
The uniform color point is kind of moot... any differences in dark panels can be controlled by painting, weathering, scuffing, etc..
