Klass Kote grey primer
Grey cellulose primer (2 different brand were used as we ran out of the 1st after the 1st coat.....the new batch being slightly darker than the 1st hence the dark, light dark' grey layers).
All rivets are burned in using the regular soldering iron technique. We did make them more prominent than you'd maybe do on a 'flying' model as opposed to a patter simply because a degree of definition will be lost in the colour coats + waxing etc.....prior to moulding.
The Blue is Klass kote. We mixed this 1 part colour, 1 part gloss catalyst, 2 parts Reducer to give a very thin mix so as not to partially fill in the rivets with the colour. The fact all are showing white/light blue is due to the fact the surfaces has been flatted (wet) so there are still traces of dry rubbing down water collecting in the rivet rings.
