Evan B...
Thanks guys. As to how I painted it, the balance of the technique is in the earlier pictures. First I black based the whole airframe and then covered that in a layer of "Aluminum". This was sprayed with hairspray and some salt was added to a few areas here and there. Then a basic RAF Dark Green/Dark Earth scheme was painted on. The salt exposing the aluminum underneath was cleaned off, and a heavy coat of salt and hairspray was then applied before spraying the whole model with NATO black. Once dry, the salt was cleaned off and I started with an ear bud working on the chipped areas and then went crazy with washes, pigments, detail work with the airbrush, some sponges, and brushes until it was right.
