Michael KohlNice Draken. On my bucket list too.
I seems you are going through similar experiences I did, in that case loosing all the preshading (at least according to what can be discerned from the photos) due to paint layers rather thick. Maybe you wanna try thinner coats with at least 60% thinner next time

Petar ŽorićI will try thinner coats, thanks for advice, I'm quite new with the airbrush 😄. But, for this specific aircraft, i decided mid build to shade as least as possible cuz I'm making freshly painted draken from last year's airshow. But advice is always appreciated mate 😄

Andy Ballcan I ask?....please in a non-critical way?....the underside....was it a blue-grey?, as I had in my head more a light-mid grey?

Petar ŽorićThank you guys, can't wait to finish it, but i must be patient, it's been on a work bench for so long 😄
Andy Ball, sure sure, all criticism is also welcome, since I've been doing this for only a year 😄 regarding the color, you would be right but for old scheme, like ones in 70ies but I'm making one that is seen on the last years airshow, it got repainted from all grey to this: [img1]
