An oil wash was then done with Lamp Black and a little Cadmium Red oil paint thinned out around 1:10 paint to mineral spirits. The upper surfaces were then wiped clean with mineral oil dampened makeup brushes. Cockpits were painted with Green, Bright Green and then Bright Pale Green highlighting up.
