    I spent the last two days painting the model, and I am almost done. The metal parts are Vallejo’s Metal Color range. These are my new favourite metallic paints, looks great, easy to use and somewhat less toxic than Alclad.
    The wooden parts are Tamiya acrylic base and oil paints, but I need to do some touch up and a final layer of Tamiya colored clear.
    The clear doped paints are from AK Interactive. Probably they are at the end of their shelf life, because I had hard time using them in the airbrush. As I recall, they worked fine when I built the SG-38, so maybe I should buy new ones… Or make custom mixes from Tamiya paints.
    I decided to use Tamiya Olive drab on top of a brown-yellow patchy base as PC10.
    And for some reason, I also went for masking the insignias. The bottom wing looks great, but the fuselage and upper wings are less than ideal, because the thin white outer ring was tricky to mask, and I also got some small overspray here and there. Hopefully it will look better after oil washes.

    So, slowly, but I am getting there.
