Had to paint Hayate's hair, face, clothes as it was all just grey. I also painted the drones a metallic-bronze during assembly so they stood out. Just painted the landing gear tyres black too.
I think the gun-barrel area of 2 arm guns is supposed to be grey, but there was no stickers, so I'll paint them later.
I made a Lafayette class SSBN about 10years ago. Took months of painstaking, minute painting details...
