And "nous y voilà": I've removed all the masks!!!

The result is good. Only minor corrections to make... I like it!

[No.1]

I have seen similar process in painting of the racing cars- layers by layers of mask and paint coat and amazing scene when it is removed! So this is what are waiting us here

I think at this point that this model has about a half of kilo of masking tape!
Ps.I just want to write this,but you denied me.
Ps.2.I think it looks  .

Thank you mates!

Well, I'm really happy. It's a first experience for me in the world of "aircraft tunning"...

Here are the colors I've used for the French camo; all paints but one are Gunze:

Radome: Tamiya XF-53 (5 parts) + H11 white (1 part)
Light grey: 50% H307 + 50% H11
Dark blue grey: 50% H56 + 10% H323 + 40% H11

Corrections are made... For the photos I've placed the canopy, but of course I have to paint Retrowings seat...

Well, time to go to bath...

I've constated that the glue of the tape let some traces on the glossy paints of the kit. So, I washed it with blue product for windows and Q-tip...

[No.1]

And few more info about this blue product? Some kind of Future?

And few more info about this blue product? Some kind of Future?

No, absolutely not. It's a product for washing the windows, that contains some isopropylic alcohol. Identifiable because of blue color; you can found it in drugstores or supermarkets.
More than a washing product, it is the perfect product to dilute the Vallejo colors and Citadel colors; and his blue color don't alterate the paints.

[No.1]

All right...

[draken35]

Again a little correction (fine yellow line on the white); and the tyres are painted with Panzer Aces "Dark Rubber"

[No.1]

And very soon we will see this nice bird completed
