Thank you!

Little progress... Photo denotes that a little bit of sanding is still needed

Thank you!

Black base (special AK Xtreme metal base) airbrushed, but also the typical green.

As you can see, the cone is very fine now

Having no AK Xtreme Metal Steel actually, I've tried to use Gun Metal but that was too dark. So, looking in my stock I found some Gunze Steel (an old can) and paintbrushed it on the 21UM. For the 21MF, I will wait until the Jemeppe expo, mid of may: I've reserved AK products on a seller site.

Anyway, after having painted steel, I've set the decals (Slovakia). Decals are from the kit and are of excellent quality

Nice markings! By the way, try to mix Xtreme metals, as I know this can be done

Thank you.

Mixing the Xtreme  metals would have been good solution but I didn't have thinked to that...
Anyway, As I've ordered for Steel, I will wait to receive it before to continue my MF ;)

It is a stunning metal finish! I enjoy the Slovak markings, too.
