When this initial basecoat was fully dry the aircraft was given a second basecoat with  Yriel Yellow  (a layer paint). Again, this was thinned with a little water and applied with the medium drybrush. Three coats were required to get a nice smooth finish. When the basecoats were full dry,  Cassandora Yellow  was painted into the recesses and around the panels of the aircraft using a small detail brush (I use synthetic brushes for this job). Try to
