Next up after the grey is that fun color that likes to change depending on the light...
i have decided to follow Jayvee's paint choice as this seems more correct to me, and I really like how dark this looks indoors
from Jayvee's list:
- Tamiya XF-17 (Sea Blue); Misted over with Model Masters Schwartzgrun RLM 70.
instead of MM SCHWARTZGRUN I used Humbrol 241
i only sprayed the two colors onto the upper cheek, I have applied a very basic mask for the lower cheeks as I'm not too worried about spray over.

First layer is Tamiya XF-17. I have applied 3 coats as I want it to have a good deep color. Next is the misting of Humbrol 241, I had to mist back and forth with the two colors before I felt happy with the results.... The first mist of the Humbrol was a bit too heavy for my liking, so misting the Tamiya back over was a easy fix
next up was the masking off of the upper cheeks to add all the final layers.
using the cheek cut outs I masked over the edges using Tamiya masking tape ( I like that I doesn't usually grab the paint and pull it off like standard masking tape)
was it was masked I cut out the paper cutout and masked the rest of the upper off
