If that's too much work, I've been able to get away with a *subtle*
drybrush
of light grey, regardless of the basic colour. You definitely need
something
to de-camouflage it. At the moment, it's "Standard KraVak Disruptive"
that works
all too well. The detail is lost in the paint job.

Take a look at the OU ships on my web site. Remember that the basic
model doesn't
have a heck of a lot of gross detail, it's rather subtle. Then allow for
the
4-colour shapes, white lines, spirals, dots, stripes etc.

eg http://www2.dynamite.com.au/aebrain/FT/OU3A.JPG

Without the grey drybrush, the panels etc were invisible. With it, the
lines
get accented, and the base colour comes through to fool the eye into
thinking
the lighter colour isn't grey.
