3/ First lights ara doing adding more Bright #254, to the previous color, I apply it in the upper surfaces, I search a natural and cenithal ilumination
4/ For the second light I add Model Air Sand #075, to reinforced the previous light, to imitate the weathering for the use, this way I paint with little clouds, more in the horizontal surfaces and in the most used zones
