A little bit of fun, using the airbrush three times on a sitting, but with three different products: Gunze Metal Black; then black base for AK metal paints on the exhausts; and finally AK Real Color Turquoise... I really love AK Real Colors!!!

Thank you my friends.
Réal Colors aren't too expansive. Approximatively €2.40

Gunze is still my favourite brand of paint actually, but that could change because Real Colors are really easy to apply, giving a smooth surface and drying very, very fast. A real pleasure to use. and good covering: remember my little mirage 5 Mark One and the mistake with the painting of the left wing: I did not have to remove the paint nor to airbrush a base color...
