As you can see, I have decided to paint both the fuel tank and the rocket boosters. I closely tried to imitate what the boosters and the fuel tank looked like in real life. So, I used orange and yellow paints for the fuel tank, and white and metallic paints for the rocket boosters.
I was really pleased with how the orange paint of the fuel tank turned out. The rocket boosters on the other hand…let’s just say I need to improve my painting ability when it comes to smaller and finer details . I would consider painting some of my models in the future, but I would probably use airbrushes to achieve a more consistent finish.
Overall, I genuinely enjoyed building this model and painting it was definitely a unique and fruitful experience. I am also glad that it works perfectly and smoothly. Thank you everyone who tuned in my building journey
Gentoo_Builds, your Space Shuttle finish looks like a real achievement. Painting the fuel tank and boosters to match the real shuttle adds so much character. The patience you put into the details really shows in the final result.
Wow, this looks fantastic! I really like how you made the space shuttle more accurate by painting it. I think you did a great job and the orange really brings a pop of color to the build.
