Hey guys, had a few free days so I finally got a bench together in my new place and took a look into the stash. Kind of fun to build something out of the box with no real knowledge of the subject. Just about to begin weathering, some washes, a bit of dot filtering and then lots of dust. See what you think, and thanks for having a look.
Again, thanks for taking a look and all comments welcome.

Thanks DJ.
Its the usual Tamiya thinned with laquer thinner. 50/50 buff and white. Highlighted afterwards with an even lighter mix on panel centers and high points. First wash has gone down and it darkened a bit but pretty much to where I want it.

A little dirty after washes, some dot filtering and a light pastel dusting. Fun kit for a quick build but definitely shows its age.
In a few days I should have it wrapped up and will take some better quality pics.
Thanks for looking.
