RE: Ultra Bandit Cockpit
I will post pics when I get home this weekend if I remember.
There are lots of good ways to do it. I use flat black on the cockpit pieces and let them dry thoroughly. Usually a day. I then spray a little silver on a clean white rag and wipe almost all of it off. Let it dry a minute. Then rub the the edges and raised surfaces ... if done right, it highlights and ages these areas. Experiment on scrap material first. The most common mistake is using too much paint. I may do the same area four or five times until there is enough paint to look right. Don't try for it the first time.
I painted the panels a base gray, and then brushed some areas and the instrument rings with flat black. Used various yellows, greens and reds for switches and lights. Silver on the bolt heads.
It's not scale, but presentable for a sport jet.
