For an Italeri kit (tamiya reboxed it) it is a very good result. Well done!

Spanjaard thank you.
Maciej indeed it's a really bad kit, used it as a testbed for a lot of things all the way and honestly it turned out ok in the end.

Ekki, Dale, Gary thank you very much all.

Mehmet, çok teşekkür ederim ama kabul etmiyorum - bundan çok daha güzel olacaktır. 🙂

Spanjaard don't tempt me mate! 😄

model was painted with all vallejo model colors. why? just for spite, there may be folks claiming that vallejo MC cant be used to airbrush properly, well here it is with the help of vallejo ab thinner and flow improver!

in the past i've used winsor newton oil to paint a navy jet (cougar), again just out of spite.

if there's anything, i've learned these so far in this hobby.
-impossible is possible, just takes time.
-do NOT listen to naysaying self claimed über master modelers! lots of false and uneducated info spreading incredibly quickly in the world, insane...

Feasibility and economy is another matter of course.

That being said, would i switch from tamiya to vallejo? Long shot. Because the painting and weathering process is completely altered in order to achieve this result, i usually go in with a .2 needle and do all kinds of shading during the base coat. Currently i haven't figured out how to do it with vallejos, yet. What you see here became like this:
Solid basecoats in all colors
Lots of post shading with oils.

I'm a journey guy, don't care about the result - never won any medals or got published, so read these with that in mind. 😄
