While waiting for better weather to paint Bumblebee, this one got dug up from the stash.
I bought it second hand and some parts were glued decently and the body was painted blue, badly. After stripping all lines need to be cleaned and the body needs to be sanded.

Thank you all for your likes.
For me, this time is also an experiment. It's my first time to build a kit like this way.
I'm looking for a quick way to save time while I'm busy at work.
This time I didn't use primer or do pre-shading.
I airbrushed whole fuselage with the main color.
Then refer to photos, hand brushed the darker and lighter colors to create difference.
I think this make the shade effect.
Until this process, only water-based acrylic paint had been used.
In the #13~#15 pictures shown, I have used Mr. Weathering's black to create the panel line.
Yesterday, I covered the plane with mat varnish, I found that the contrast became smaller.
I think I should increase the contrast before the mat varnish in the future.
My weathering process is not over yet.
Oil paints, color pencils, etc. may be used to enhance the effect.

Nice weathering, we can clearly see that you worked closely with photos references. What did you use for the main color ?

Erik Leijdens
Looking great Tzonglin! Love the way you've weathered it

Tzonglin Wu
Hi, Romain. I mixed that color by myself. I selected a photo as reference and mixed grey, blue, black and white to approach the photo.
