    Black is a great foundation for later paint. Looking forward to the rest of the build, @lis.

    After painting vertical finn on aluminium dope (sorry I forgot take a photo because I need to repaint this Part. I'm not satified at first look, but now is OK), and masking. Second thin coat of Mr Surfacer was done.

    Looks nice, @lis. Looks like you are using Vallejo metallics. They seem to work well for me, although I haven't used them for an entire plane. You are right, sleep is good.

    @gblair I'm glad that you like my model. In this build i used Mr Hobby Super Fine silver II. I think it's good as Vallejo Metalic.

    Interestingly, only after painting aluminum in two places some inequalities appeared (wing tip and on the engine cover), which I sanded to bare plastic, painted with a primer and again Super Fine SIlver II. I do not know if, considering the above, my eyesight is already failing me, but only the subtle color of aluminum highlighted the imperfections of the previous layers.
