Need some more advice on how to paint the above. Very good advice from Jeff (SgtReef) but always open to more ideas before taking the plunge.

Frightening me to death if the truth be told!

Very, very different from painting a 1:8 scale. I intend to use Tamiya paints in Russian Green and have an excellent airbrush/compressor.

In particular would you pre-shade or post shade and if so with what colour/s? Would you apply a wash and/or a filter(s) after the base coat and the same question regarding what colour(s) applies. I'm very aware of the amounts of natural shadow this beast generates and I don't think I want to get well over a years work ruined for the sake of asking advice from those with more practical experience than I.

Thank you in advance.
