Ready to paint at first I started with a dark blue of H55 gunze paint passage then followed by some small touches of medium blue H56 and brown XF10 Tam.

docjojo Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Hi, Here is the beginning of the patina of my Hellcat. I used gray oil paintings for General juice. Traces of exhausts are made with a mixture of brown / black and very diluted beige. All repeated several times until the right result.
