It
was originally intended that the Klingon Bird of Prey
introduced in Star Trek III was of Romulan origin, and had been
commandeered by Commander Kruge. The design still bears the
bird-like features common to Romulan design.
Whether the dark green color was chosen because of the K'Tinga
Class Klingon Cruisers, or if green was somehow prescient of
Romulan ship color of the TNG era, I decided to color my Romulan
version according to the Romulan 'Bright One' from the FASA
metal miniature line.

The
base coat was painted Flat Gull Gray. Detail panels were colored
with Light Ghost Gray and Navy Aggressor Gray.
The wing's feather details were painted on both the top side,
bottom side and similar shapes were painted on the command
section.
The colors of the feathers were Blue (gloss, but later sprayed
flat), Mat Sky Blue, and Flat White.

In
anticipation of Romulan engines emitting green colored light, I
painted the impulse engine Fluorescent Signal Green. Fluorescent
Saturn Yellow was used for the forward torpedo launcher color.
Basically, area that had a reddish glow on the Klingon ship were
substituted with green for the Romulan version.
Minute details were accented with Steel, Copper, with some Flat
Black dry brushing.
