Nice work! Interesting to see how hard contrasts turn out in 700 scale!

Thanks, @Rui! @Stephan thanks. I used a few methods, such as streaking using airbrush and MIG-Ammo grime, and TextureFX template to help randomize the weathering.

Beautifully painted and weathered and in 1/700 scale... that's doubly impressive. A stunning looking build. 👍

Album info
I chose Measure 22 camouflage over the Measure 32 scheme because I wasn't sure that I had the skills to do the latter scheme. for the rigging, I used E-Z-line product and stretched sprue for the whip antennas. The major paints were Mr. Color and Tamiya acrylics thinned with Mr. Leveling Thinner. While the weathering I used a combination of Ammo panel line washes and Tamiya panel line accent. I just made this video summary of the build, for those interested Youtube Video
