Thank you mate !

I've airbrushed gloss varnish again to seal the decals ; then I've used Tamiya Black Panel Liner. The headrest of the pilot is paintbrusehd in AK Acrylic 3D AK11102 Deep Brown and the exhaust pipes in AK Acrylic 3D Dark Rust.

To be precised that the aircraft will have a glossy finish.

I've airbrushed Gauzy Agent from AK as gloss varnish ; then decals were applied in one sitting 
Excellent decals I must say.

After that, the fuselage received Vallejo Metal Aluminium. The undersurfaces of the wings were painted with Gunze H8 ; then the tail with AK RC Signal Red and finally the upper surfaces of the fuselage & the wings, plus the struts were painted khaki (70% Gunze H81 + 30% Gunze H305)

Painting of the cockpit interior. Quite simple : aluminium overall... I've airbrushed Vallejo Metal Color 77.701 Aluminium.
I've just added seatbelts, made from Tamiya masking tape and paintbrushed in beige.
Then varnished with AK Gauzy Agent and Tamiya black panel liner applied.

So, FRROM released what was the last French fighter biplane. The aircraft was in competition with the Dewoitine 500 to reequip the Armee de l'Air. Dewoitine won but an order was also placed for 60 SPAD 510, to maintain the activities of the Bleriot-SPAD factory.

The kit looks very nice! FRROM kits are made by Special Hobby and are now of very good quality.

I love the look of that biplane...
