I went for the studio ESB color and sprayed right from the can Testors Model Master Intermediate Blue. If you want the screen look of gray, I used Model Master Light Ghost Gray and then gave it a good wash of Gunship Gray. Both TIES I did have won awards, so there ya go. :D
So me, trying to be tolerant of everybody's situations, went to a feminist picnic. Things fell apart fairly quickly after nobody made any sandwiches.

For my AMT version I used Testors MM Medium Gray which is really a blue-gray. For the solar panels I used Testors Racing Colors Instrument Panel Matte Black and sprayed a coat of semi-gloss over 'em.
