yeah, i only thought of this after i did it. but it would work. just brush white fascolour first, then for example, fasmetalic blue, then coat it with CA. on a tamiya the blue edges would look fully sick
just leave the sections that make contact with baulkhead edges, or parts that are a tight tolerance with just glue, as the paint+glue would be rather thick and it might make for example, the top deck hard to put on it hits the lips of the baulks.
i think the calandra write up doesn't use a permanent marker i think. this is basically the only added step to the process, but it sure makes it look a million bucks.
ALSO! IF YOU DO NOT SAND UNDER WATER IT IS VERY DANGEROUS!
the pictures are pritty shyt, but trust me, it comes up "piano black"
