Next after painting came post-shading: base color lightened with white and darkened with orange and brown.
Elevons and rudders were masked off and painted in a lighter shade of the base color.
Hinomarus were painted with Gunze H3 Red, using masks made from Tamiya tape.
To make the masks a hole was punched into a piece of tape using a hollow punch.
The punched out disc was not discarded but used as a guide by placing it on the model where the hinomaru would go and then positioning the mask around it.
A small section was cut off from the disc to make it easier to lift off once the mask is in place.
The numbers on the fins were airbrushed using leftovers from an earlier set of Miracle Masks.
The paint is Gunze Flat Black lightened with a little Tire Black to break the harshness of absolute black.
No decals were used at all for this build.
The nozzle was painted with Model Master metalizers.
More to come...

This is the prototype as put on display for the high brass's benefit after its first successful series of powered test flights, duly repainted. B)
Thought you could trick me?
