747 SOC Restoration Part 7

During my research on the new NASA 747 color scheme, I discovered that the top of the wings have some sort of rubberized coating that manifests in a subtle color variation. I thought it would be a good idea to simulate this effect on the model. To do this I would have admit defeat and pull out the airbrush...

I sprayed a very, very light coat of steel paint over the base grey. It's not perfect, but I think it gives a nice effect for very little work.

It also helps break up the monotone grey on the large area of the wings.
