George, I found that Vallejo are too soft and easly wears off. I usually used Laquer Paints, but in PRU Blue in bottle there is only common acrylic paint.
PS. Some photos in the sun. In natural light this PRU blue looks much better than artificial light.

Looks really nice in the sunlight, Bernard @lis Not sure about other paints, but I do agree that Vallejo is very sensitive to scratches once applied. A good primer does improve it.
After taking off masks (as I suspect) stripes was not good enaught. But it was a little problem in in compare to fact that white paint was cracked on the surface. I have big headache with it. After all evening sanding and repainting I made it acceptable in all parts…

@lis, ah yes, Mr. Color is a good brand. I can recommend prussian blue from Ak interactive. As for stripes, i find it very hard to align the invasion stripes properly. It ALWAYS takes me a couple tries with some corrections. Hang in there!
Looking good!
Excellent overall job so far, my friend @lis! Great retouching of the cracked white areas!
Looks really good in the end, Bernard @lis
