Certainly Vallejo is no slouch, but I suppose it just seems right to paint a Citadel model with Citadel paints. I simply find them to be wonderful paints to brush on. □įor this build, I’m pretty much sticking with Citadel colors. Even if the power is out you can brush paint… assuming you have some decent light of course. And while airbrushing gives a wide range of options for fading and shading very nice gradients, brush painting is so simple to just pick up, start, stop, and then continue any time. It’s basically doing models the way I did as a kid. While I typically airbrush larger models like this, I decided to go with brush painting this one. Most of it is red, tan, or black, though with some metallics thrown in for good measure. There’s actually quite a bit of surface area to paint. I’d had great fun painting the cockpit, and that enjoyment has carried right through to painting the full airframe. The Archaeopter continues to be an absolute blast of a kit!
