    getting ready for primer

    you may notice the different plastic colour of the tip tanks, was a second hand kit and the tanks were missing, took them from an Academy T-33 kit

    One of the very first jet flights I had was in a T-bird, Reinhard (@grimreaper). This really brings back the memories. Good luck on the primer.

    Natural metal finish looks great, Reinhard (@grimreaper). I really like the old Real Color line of paints and have a bunch of them, but I don't think I ever bought their metallic colors.

    @gblair a pity the old ones end
    my dad already tried the new ones, the plastic bottles have nothing in them for shaking, no ball or something similar, the cap and bottle have no tight connection, so when you shake them a bit harder, paint is gonna leak
    also my dad thinks the new ones smell more and have a longer drying time

    Hi Reinhard (@grimreaper): The new Real Colors are indeed different from the old. I still have a bunch of the old paints, so I mainly use them. I bought a few of the new ones to test them. I am also not a fan of the new bottles, but they do seem to spray better.
