Absolutely amazing, sir.
Love the weathering; We all should aspire to that.
On a different note, I've never seen a vessel with the plumbing on the outside๐ฎ

I would never call a kit a scratch build.
Your original thoughts are correct in my humble opinion.

How about a mixing station in a decorator/builders merchant?
They can match any colour and you can then apply acrylic lacquer on top.

I don't know why you want to brush when you can get a very good spray can from an automotive shop. I'm sure there are those options in Canada.
Acrylics work very well on plastics I must add. As you might already know they also brush very well. At least those from tamiya I use.

Thank you Colin for your nice words however I consider the insides quite messy. I should have put more thought into organizing the cables.
As for the varnish I put 2 coats. I used the international and I must say it levels very nicely. Shame it goes off once you open the tin.

What a beast! My best guess will be connecting them in parallel resulting in 2 wires going to the esc.

Roy, I think we spoke about the process of making this kit before, didn't we?
There was something about compromising the accuracy for the benefit of transporting the model.
