This is the Tamiya
AH-1J Skyraider built mainly OOTB, with Cutting Edge propellers and decals. I
used a variation of the pre-shading technique, first marking all panel lines
with a black panel line marker pen, then applying the final camouflage coat with
Model Master Acrylics. The pen allows me greater control than with an airbrush,
and it marks the area around each panel in a manner similar to airbrushing. I
also did some light weathering with pastels and a light application of Tamiya
smoke for the exhaust stains.
