Some are obvious and some are obvious then you paint em and realise your totally wrong, you really have to paint a lot and paint thin layers to replicate ilm stuff, this is when the RND Changes again
Working backwards with weathering layers to study the lower base colour of panels is fun and frustrating
Just last week I was messing with the A-wing red, it's very hard to be sure from ref and I e studied it more than once !! But painting a certain red over the white gets you near exact to the filming mini, Ive had the swatch fir months and disregarded it !! But seeing it in a thinner layer as per the model is brings very different results
It's never conclusive and never fact and doesn't matter it's about fun and hopefully a great looking model based on actual research be it correct or fiction there's never going to be an answer but logic and a narrowed ball park, I'm hoping to narrow a few ballparks to about 30ml pots :-)
