The model was built out of the
box using Model Masters paint. It was painted with an aluminum base, then
covered with the standard tri color scheme.
The worn areas were made by
removing paint with a Q-tip dipped in lacquer thinner and also by sanding with
2000 grit sand paper. The decals are home made on a computer printer.
