Microscale Microclear. It's a sort of extremely thick varnish. The trick is to cover your brush with it -and the brush must have roughly the same size as the opening. Then in one single stroke you manage to cover every outer part of the window with the brush, and take back the brush, and the varnish covers the openings!

10-04-2009 :: Undercoat of the inner part of the hull

I first airbrushed some black/ dark brown undercoat..

And then I painted with my wet on wet technique: some water is getting brushed on the right place then alternative and blend brush strokes of either brownish red or black paint, and when the stuff begins to dry some black or dark brown pigments..
