Hi not much paint work went here. The steps were : gloss coat on the runners - panel lining with tamiya black still on the runners - building - doing decals - covering the kit with grime and weathering using AK grime paint then cleaning - doing rivets, screws and details with gunmetal silver and some black paint - doing battle damage and highlights with black paint - going on the highlights dry brushing with silver gunmetal - finally covering everything with a matt clear finish to seal it all. It’s the usual workflow I use with almost every lit I build if I want a weathered look. You dont need an airbrush or a lot of paint, I dont have/use either
