This
1/72 Academy kit was made out of the box. Hand-brush painting was
used to paint this model. Tamiya and Gunze Sangyo were the primary paints
that were used. Johnson's Wipe and Shine (The Philippines' version of
Future) was used to gloss coat the model before and after decalling. Mr
Hobby Topcoat Flat was used for the final finishing.

Heavy weathering
reflecting the "no wash" conditions of some of the Tiffies exposed to
the English weather was achieved by black sludge wash. Paint chipping was
done using a silver pen.
The
flash maybe a bit too intense that's why some of the parts seem to have a glossy
surface. Special thanks to George Tupper for providing me spare parts.
BTW, I'm just new at this great hobby, this is my 1st model.
