After trying a few different methods, I settled on repriming the red quarters by hand, again using the VJ German red brown. I use a chisel tip brush as it's easier to get straight lines. Two thin coats!
I let the primer dry overnight so that is gets a nice cure, then I mask off the yellow. For infantry or anything with lots of detail I use silly putty. It sticks just right and can be moulded into place. Just stretch it out to get a straight section then lay in in place, fiddling with it till it's right.
I prehighlight with a light grey, then airbrush VJ Gory red as the midtone. Red a fairly translucent, I find a prehighlight helps it pop.
I repeat the process and do a zenithal prehighlight to catch the high spots then airbrush VJ Ferrari Red for the final high spots., here's a shot in between moving masks around.
Here's where we are after the reds are done:
I use Badger Minitare Ghost Tint Brown to redefine the shadows.
That's it for the reds. mtk...
