Pre-shading tips anyone?

[Woody V]

I've never done any pre-shading before and looking for any tips you may be interested in sharing. 

Thanks in advance.

Hey Woody, I only started pre shading my last few kits. 1st thing that I learned was that it is easy to erase the pre shading with too heavy of color coat. Build up color slowly one panel at a time. 

 The other lesson learned is to use a similar color to the top/color coat. Example: a grey for the sky underside camo as opposed to a black which may be more appropriate for dark topside colors. Happy modeling, John
