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!!!

Post by: draken35 on April 10, 2020, 07:11:53 AM
Thank you my friends.
Réal Colors aren't too expansive. Approximatively €2.40

Ooooo!!! And compared with Gunze about quality and work properties?

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...

Thank you!

I've forgotten to take photos of the first green I've airbrushed (Real Color RC027 Forrest Green). Then after two long sittings for masking, I've airbrushed Gunze H80 Khaki Green. Contrast between both green is not as heavy as seen here (photo with flash) - Third photo is better for contrast.

I remember this important fact: I'm building a "what if"...

After having airbrushed AK Real Color Gloss Varnish (and that's a good one!!!), decals were applied.
As a what-if, I've decided to build a Wallonian Ka-50! To remember that Wallonia is the south part of Belgium. People are in majority leftists (opposed to Flanders where people are more on the right). So I've imaginated that, with the (always possible actually) collapse of Belgium, Russia decided to give military support to Wallonia, furnishing armament (helicopters, aircrafts, tanks...)
