First coat. It turned out the acrylic Tamiya doesn't ever really dry...

... so after washing and repainting it was time for decals.

Very nice. I have the X-1 in my stash as well. Which colour did you use for the fuselage?

Ok, I found the information about the colour on the project page. 🙂

Welcome. Well, I took Tamiya's orange, but:
- it's typical acrylic paint, for me nothing worth of airbrushing, lacquer equivalent would've been way more friendly,
- according to instructions it should be mixed with another one, but I spotted it too late 🙂

Finished. Unfortunately I built a tailsitter and had to fake it using a transparent stand under the belly 🙁
