I painted the (disassembled) mini with a coat of white primer and then a heavy light green coat. I then dry brushed it with a good coat of yellow. The cockpit was done in metallic green. The picture doesn't do the quality (not the choice of colors!) of the mini justice. I then decaled, based and sealed it.

The second one was done with a red base and then black, yellow and orange detail. I put it on a base, added decals and then sealed it.
