@ D.Lesko...its painted with both mediums oils and acrylics.. the kit is from Pegaso Models..which I can recommended to anyone
i wanted a faded red that looked like silk which I was told that that was the material used at that time...so here is the mix
Base: Carmine(Maimeri) + Sap Green(Maimeri) + a little Andrea Crimson...
Highlights: add Brilliant Red(Maimeri) to the base colour with each highlight adding a little crimson to keep that faded effect...for the last highlights I added a little beige to the brilliant red
Shadows: add Sap Green(Maimeri) to the base colour and for the last deep shadows use black
hope this helps mate
@eas6644....yes it's a resin piece which makes the job even more difficult.. :///...i started with a black acrylic undercoat..then sprayed Humbrol 52 Gunmetal on it as a base colour then used Humbrol 11 Silver and sprayed from the top to give an overhead Highlight...after all is dry pasted W & N Ivory Black and removed excess.... and then started picking highlights with silver acrylics and some printers inks for the shadows and demarcations Ivory black oil colour from the tube P.S. for the Humbrol use some semi matt varnish so that it will not become grainy
if you need anything just p.m me
