Starfury painting advice

[Exile]

Howdy everybody, I've just got a quick question is for the painters in the forums, whomever's left, anyways.

I'm currently painting up some of my EA Starfuries. However, I find myself at a dead end as to how to do the cockpit glass. Black? Blue? Grey? arrrrrrrrrrrrgh! So, if anybody could come up with some advice, or tips, or a walkthrough on how you did your Starfuries/Thunderbolts, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

I did white on my grey starfuries and blue on my Black Omegas.

I used black, it contrasted to grey quite well.... just remember to paint the rear cockpit on the Badgers... so you can tell them apart from the Aurora's without having to look to closely.

I don't have any Mongoose Starfuries, but if I did, I'd be inclined to paint the cockpits dark red. The "real" ones had red lighting inside the cockpit.

I used boltgun metal for all the cockpit screens on my fighters. Trust me, it looks better than it sounds.

Did a blue, then painted on the cockpit frame in grey along the edges. Yes, I am quite mad.

Why would you paint the cockpits :shock:

But if i were to i would paint them blue. A dark blue and then gloss varnish it for the shine.
