Battlestar Galactica half studio scale - 1 meter long

[olcabour]

First a fair coat of primer (Tamyia spray can)






Then matt black spray (car paint spray can)






I had to correct a few drops (with sanding sponge)







The spray can not go everywhere, I finish corners with airbrush






A right gray was difficult to find and to apply as I am not used to paint models of this size.

First test with sky Grey XF-19 aero: rthe esult too white and not enough uniform




So after a new coat of black, I changed color (I do not remember which one). Although it looked nice on the pictures, it was this time too dark.





So I change technique, I get back to the tamiya gray primer, and I kept it as base coloer as I liked.






For the red stripes, I first applied white, then a standard red and finally dark red (it is not an X-Wing )














The supplied decals brake down during application. So I made new ones by testing different font sizes.
