Vallejo has a good reputation but I have no experience with them. I will follow this with interest.

Some unsolicited advice, it has been my experience that any metal finish goes on better on a (gloss) black coat.

Cool idea on the base, Lucas! Like it!

Yes, the newer generation of Vallejo metallics is very good, should work here too.

Paint is on - and turned out perfect. I had to rework the wing roots with Perfect Plastic Putty and paint again there. The paint dries fast and sets perfectly on the surface. No primer was used (although you could do so), and it still looks perfect.

Decals and small parts will be next.

Nice matte shine!

Pretty difficult to photograph with a desk light on. Heres a picture in daylight and witth decals on.

The finish looks great Tig !


It's a really nice kit, I made the UTI version some months ago and really enjoyed the quality of the kit!

Looks pretty good! So, do you like Vallejo metallics?

Sure. I only brushed them on my figures before, but didnt airbrush them. Now, with very good results with an airbrush also, I really love them even more.

Pretty dang slick.
