Katsusauce Posted August 6, 2023 Author Share Posted August 6, 2023 Vallejo chipping paints with Elmer's glue for the roof. Vallejo and AK Interactive streaking paints for the sides highlighted with the Vallejo chipping paint, and black Tamiya panel liner. Tamiya yellow mixed with a little white to create the "scratches" over the decals. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
