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

Base coat: The first coat was a mixture of 90% Tamiya acrylics (Tamiya XF-26“Deep Green”, Tamiya XF-2 “Flat White” and Tamiya XF-3 “Flat Yellow” in a 8:1:1 ratio) and 10% Tamiya X-22 Clear in Tamiya lacquer thinner (2:1 paint mixture to thinner). I thought that this looked too dark, so I then sprayed on a mixture of 90% Tamiya acrylics (Tamiya XF-26“Deep Green”, Tamiya XF-2 “Flat White” and Tamiya XF-3 “Flat Yellow” in a 4:1:1 ratio) and 10% Tamiya X-22 Clear in Tamiya lacquer thinner (2:1 paint mixture to thinner).

Highlights: A mixture of 90% Tamiya acrylics (Tamiya XF-26“Deep Green”, Tamiya XF-2 “Flat White” and Tamiya XF-3 “Flat Yellow” in a 4:2:2 ratio) and 10% Tamiya X-22 Clear in Tamiya lacquer thinner (2:1 paint mixture to thinner) was sprayed onto the upper horizontal surfaces only.
