I hand painted the panels that are already molded on the model. I used a Tamaya paint.The color is Gun Metal X-10 it comes in a 1/2 oz bottle.And the Bridge is painted Gold. I just thought a little detail would make it stand out a little better,but I did not want to aztec it because with the color I used to paint the overall color of the ship which is by Rust Oleum,the color is called Winter Gray 1982.I thought this is a great color it looks closer to the grays used on the newer ships of the Federation.
So I thought what the Heck,I try it and see how it turns out,and it turned out great no runs and it dries to touch in 12 minutes also and made for plastic.Thanks for the kind words.
