Well considering they're $4 for acrylics and $4.80 for the lacquer acrylics, I think they're worth it since this guy knows his Russian colors. I do know he often goes to Russia at least 2 times a year. Linden Imports is the real deal when it comes to authentic Russian colors. He's heading back on July 17 til mid-August according to his website. I'll wait til he returns before I place an order.

Thanks for the info BlackSheep!

And as I found out m a little bit goes a long way with these paints.

I have used an oil paint wash (windsor newton black and brown, thinned in white spirits) to accentuate the panel lines.







A common problem with vacform kits is that they have no or shallow panel lines. So I have retraced them.

Great work with the vacu kit!

Love the paintwork, can hardly wait to see how it looks like when the canopy masking is removed

It's looking great Borg!

Almost done! I put the flat coat over the whole model. My Humbrol spray can was empty so I did it with my old technique: Future with Tamiya Flat base:





And I assembled the whole thing:






Only thing left to do is rigging the arial.
