    I made some research and Tamiya and Hasegawa suggest second option. Vallejo suggest first option as faded PRU Blue. It will be difficult to choose.

    PS. Red tail was applayed.

    Red looks excellent, my friend @lis!
    Whichever PRU Blue you will choose, will be great!

    Very good progress and a fine looking red tail, Bernard @lis
    I would go for the first color, FS35189, as well.

    Some progress.
    PS.
    Felix that paint was quite known MrColor. No C366. But I need to find sth similar as PRU Blue , because Mr Color don’t have any paint called PRU Blue.

    The paint looks great, Bernard (@lis). The color looks good. I have never used Mr Color paints, but you might find a formula to mix the color online. Several other manufacturers have PRU Blue in bottles. I have used "faded" PRU Blue from Vallejo Model Air in the past with good results.
