Painting
We assembled our model then sprayed the whole thing with a black car undercoat aerosol.
Once that was dry we applied two rough coats yellow paint (DIY household emulsion) to the entire model.
Metal areas were painted black (model paints) then dry brushed with silver.
The rivets had a dab of gold paint put onto each of them.
The lights were painted pale blue, with a semi-circle of white added to the top left of each lens.
The edges of the seat and upper cab supports were painted dark grey, while the seat cushion was painted red.
The buttons on the console were painted a variety of bright colours.
Chips and scratches had a small patch of white painted first, then once dry a smaller patch of black was painted inside
them. Finally a dash of silver was added to inside of the black.
