This kit
was built from the Hasegawa 1/48 kit, mostly OOP, the only extras added was a
set of gun barrels and pitot tube from the Master Models set.

Painting
started with Vallejo black primer, and followed that up with Vallejo Air
Aluminum in the areas I wanted to chip the top coat away. This was followed up
with an application of hairspray, and then the top coat applied which was a
Vallejo color, but the name escapes me now. The color was then lightened with
some sand color and the center of the panels were picked out. Once dry, water
was applied to chip off the top coat. Once that was finished, the kit was gloss
coated for decals, and then a wash of Flory Models Grime wash was applied, and
then a Vallejo Matt coat, with gun and engine exhaust staining applied using
Vallejo Pigments. Some say the chipping is too severe, but looking at photos
from back in the day, I have seen some that showed much worse chipping than
that. All in all I think it came out well.
Enjoy the photos.
