Finished my 1/72 Platz Predator MQ-1B. Painted with some old Floquil Warbirds US Light Grey, washed with a dark grey liner, and then post-shaded with a mix of the light grey and white. I sealed the paint with Future, and applied decals, then coated it with a Vallejo satin varnish.The base is a bunch of pieces of styrene and Woodland Scenics turf. I snapped off the pitot tube on the nose about a dozen times, and replaced it with a piece of steel rod. The sign decal came with the kit, and I made the sign itself out of the same styrene sheet and a piece of balsa spar for the post and painted it panzer grey. I added a bunch of AFV weathering effects to the concrete, including pastel chalks, pigments, spilled fuel, oil, engine grime, rust, and puddled rainwater. Overall time on this project was about 15 hours, the majority of it spent making the base and painting the details on the UAV.
