Scale lighting
Colors of a small model seem to be more dark than the colors of a bigger one. Scale lighting is a percentage of white color
that should be added to make the exterior of the model more realistical. (The start color is the color of prototype.)
One more nuance should be taken in account (especially for historical models):
Use lower percentage if you wish to get the surface that seems like just-painted;
Use heigher percentage if you wish to get some old and fade surface.
The figure below helps to evaluate the scale lighting you need.

1: very old paint area
2: old paint area
3: just-painted area

The other way to evaluate scale lighting you need is using SL calculator.
