Thunderhawk Gunship – part 3

First I gave it an overall cote of black primer.

Then a grey primer at about 45-60 degrees around from the top.

Then white primer was sprayed almost from above.

After that I did some dry brushing with white to pick up some details even on the underside.
Then I used Speed paint on parts of the ship. This time I used airbrush instead of brushing it on by hand.

As can be seen the base was masked to allow for the metal colour.

I masked the ship for the next step and realized that perhaps it was best to paint the windows first.

After also masking the windows, i first painted white on the areas where the first colour was showing. Then Goblin green was painted on the rest of the ship.

The tape was then removed.

It turned out pretty good, but I wasn’t totally happy with the demarcations in some places.
But since this is a speed build, I’m not re-painting it.
After removing the tape from the windows and placed it on its stand, it looked like this!

The windows got some shadows and highlight in an attempt to make them look like glass.

All the guns and engines got metal paint.

Next I’ll do some highlights, pin wash and general weathering.
