    @fiveten I painted two coats of mr surfacer. First I sanded to mores mooth surface.

    @j-healy @gblairI wonder if painting the whole plane with mr super metallic color does not react with the tail painted Vallejo metallic color?

    @tcinla @j-healy @fiveten @johnb Thank you!

    How do you think, won't Mr color metalic paint spoil the painted Vallejo Metal color rudders? I am concerned about the border of masking with the surfaces of the rudders.

    That's lacquer-base over water-base, which shouldn't mess up (don't do it the other way round though)

    Looking really good, @lis. I always worry about what type of paints I am using. I usually use acrylic for the color coats, and then use oils for weathering. You only make the mistake once of using oil-based weathering products on an oil-based paint.

    @gblair I'm glad that you like my model. Yes, after using oil weathering products on oil paint could be a nightmare. I always gave coat of clear before I used oil wash.
