Well, enough

Thank you!

I've forgotten to take photos of the first green I've airbrushed (Real Color RC027 Forrest Green). Then after two long sittings for masking, I've airbrushed Gunze H80 Khaki Green. Contrast between both green is not as heavy as seen here (photo with flash) - Third photo is better for contrast.

I remember this important fact: I'm building a "what if"...

Well  that could be a project for another build

After having airbrushed AK Real Color Gloss Varnish (and that's a good one!!!), decals were applied.
As a what-if, I've decided to build a Wallonian Ka-50! To remember that Wallonia is the south part of Belgium. People are in majority leftists (opposed to Flanders where people are more on the right). So I've imaginated that, with the (always possible actually) collapse of Belgium, Russia decided to give military support to Wallonia, furnishing armament (helicopters, aircrafts, tanks...)

Historic part is excellent Maybe name would be Валонская Република 

[Second Air Force]

Now the "what-if" aspect is clear! Great looking unit!!!
