Pieces are prepaired for base paint

As a mechanic, that rotor head is so interesting to me....

Nice !

A little bit of fun, using the airbrush three times on a sitting, but with three different products: Gunze Metal Black; then black base for AK metal paints on the exhausts; and finally AK Real Color Turquoise... I really love AK Real Colors!!!

[modellius]

nice progress

[Second Air Force]

Superb!

All right, all right... how much cost those Real Colors?

[draken35]

Thank you my friends.
Réal Colors aren't too expansive. Approximatively €2.40

Ooooo!!! And compared with Gunze about quality and work properties?

Ooooo!!! And compared with Gunze about quality and work properties?

Gunze is still my favourite brand of paint actually, but that could change because Real Colors are really easy to apply, giving a smooth surface and drying very, very fast. A real pleasure to use. and good covering: remember my little mirage 5 Mark One and the mistake with the painting of the left wing: I did not have to remove the paint nor to airbrush a base color...

Good tips, thank you so much!

My pleasure, my friend!

Another brand of excellent paints: AK Xtreme metal. Exhausts airbrushed with Burnt Metal
