Irish 2-seat Vampire

I had to shorten the left undercarriage leg, but the tail is not 100% aligned to the rest I know

Small update - sprayed the alu paint last week, now the first layer of the orange paint is drying

Orange on. Sorry for poor photo quality lately, but I'm learning my new camera...

Well done so far, Łukasz.

Your paint looks a bit grainy. Perhaps lowering the pressure or thinning a bit more can solve this? For the rest she's marvellous

Thanks guys. Unfortunately you're right Martin. I hope it won't be so visible under the satin topcoat. The decals are currently drying as we speak. Two small roundels disintegrated and I had to borrow two from Fouga set.

Perhaps a light polishing can ease the pain?

I can probably replace the Fouga roundels if you need them.

Nice looking so far, Luckaz! What did you use for the day-glo orange? Looks great!

Thanks gentlemen!
@Martin - I have to buy finally some alu paint from Hataka or Gunze C, I know
@Roy - thanks, but currently I'm not planning to build the Irish Fouga, so it's not really necessary (in case, one of the latest Airfix boxings has much better decals I presume)
@Gordon - it's thinned Revell Aqua Color Orange number 36130, sprayed in few layers (the last 4th was the thickest as it way too transparent) - it works perfectly with Wamod's retarder

The Revell 99 works fine. You just need to thin the crap out of it and spray a lot of layers, really, a LOT of layers. Keep practicing Lukasz, every build is better than the one before. I know you can do it 👍

Finished, my quickest project so far 🙂 I promise I'll work on spraying Revell 99, I think I didn't dillute it enough.

Like a brand new one from the factory!

Thanks, I wanted to keep it clean - in the pics I found they seem to be kept quite clean all the time

Fabulous result. Love it. 👍

Thanks Ekki, not sure if it's nicer then yours 🙂
Just spotted the yellowing alu color on some pics - looks like my new camera decided to add it as it's not visible on the kit itself...
