I spray painted the (disassembled) mini with a coat of grey primer and then painted it with a heavy coat of a "burnt umber" base. I then painted larger sectionsof detail in black and "green umber". I painted the cockpit glass in gold. The AC gun barrel tip was painted "metallica gunmetal gray." I then assembled it, applied some water slide decals and attached it to the base. When all was set, I applied a coat of glaze to protect and seal it.
