Description
My first assembled Model Kit, Takara Transformers Dual Model 02 Kit Bumblebee.

The armor plating(all yellow parts) still remains, but here's a presentation of the current "Hybrid Protoform" as I'd call it.
(due to the earth adapted body design, lacking the armor plating).

Painted over the dull translucent grey green metal body, to get that metallic look.
I'm going to paint a Stealth Variant of Bumblebee, meaning black plating rather than yellow, and it's going to be all scratched up and have a weathered surface.. same goes for the body as seen here, have given it a brownish wash to make it appear dirty and rusty, later comes the scratches, which I will paint accordingly to the areas protected by plating.

I have a hard time taking pictures justifying the details of the paint and details applied.. but this will do for now, and I'll leave the quality photo shoot to the finished Stealth Bee.

So, opinions?
