Primer: Tamiya “Fine Surface Primer” (light grey) spray can

Basecoat:  A mixture of 90% Tamiya acrylics (XF-57 “Buff”, XF-59 “Desert Yellow” and XF-2 “Flat White” in a 9:1:1 ratio) and 10% Tamiya X-22 Clear in Tamiya lacquer thinner (2:1 paint mixture to thinner). The instructions call for the chassis to be painted black, but I rejected that in favour of the same base colour shown in the real examples displayed here.
