Hi Clu

Happy to answer your questions.

Brand of paint did you use? : A mixture of Tamiya and Mr Hobby Aqueous Hobby Color Acrylics with the hand painted stuff like the interior details with Citadel acrylics.

hand painting or airbrush?: Both. Two dual action airbrushes and multiple paint brushes. Base colours of the model all airbrushed. Tonal changes with airbrush with base colour lightened slightly. Details picked out with brushes.

did u use primer?: Yep Tamiya Surface Primer. Grey or white doesn’t matter. Standard or fine doesn’t matter either. Comes in a spray can or bulk for airbrushing. Again doesn’t matter which one you use. I always do an undercoat. Apart from giving the paint something to bite into it also highlights any imperfections.

washes?: Citadel and Tamiya acrylics thinned. Some artists oils thinned with spirits. Also used Mig weathering powders and Tamiya weathering powders.

Scratches: All by hand this time. Varying shades of grey. Interior was also washed in random areas with Citadel Gryphone Sepia. A lovely burnt golden-brown wash.

Tips for building this kit: Lots of patience. And super glue. My Hatch was a terrible fit although I did get it to a stage where I could have posed it closed but I thought bugger it and left it opened.
