Hi Marius 👍
What metallic paint did you use..??

Thank you guys for the interest and patience with my never ending typos 🙂
I am of course not the first one to build this kit in the IDF version, but I am trying my own approach.
@Mr D: I am using Xtreme Metal paints. Their Aluminium and Duraluminium are by far my favorites among many other I tried in the last years. Both need no thining and can be used directly out of the bottle. The metallic paints from Xtreme Metal are compatible with Alclad metallics, where my first choices for "Steel" and "Jet Exhaust" are. So you can mix both brands for shading. I am using the Mr. Hobby Thinner, since especially the Alclad Steel is thick and more pretentious. Otherwise regarding the Vallejo metallics, although I experimented quite much with acrylics, nobody managed so far to convice me that spraying acrylics has any advantage over the other "dark side" (other than smell). The Vallejo Silver is indeed the best metallic paint I have found so far that can be applied by brush (for small details or minor chipping). It settles well without waves or protuberances maintaining a good shine (if applied properly). Otherwise, I would personally never think of applying acrylic metallics by airbrush. But there is certainly a reason why some people are still trying that, just that I personally don't know the secret recipe.

Hi Marius 👋😃👍
Thanks for the info, be really helpful .
I'm trying to learn about paint and techniques....and advice like this is appreciated 👍
I only purchased an airbrush about a year ago.
Yes the Velejo silver brush paints really well.
What size needle jet do you use for the Extreme metrics?? and general use ?
Thanks

Nice work on those stripes.
I share your frustration regarding Print Scale lack of research, they are also pretty hard to apply, especially small stencil sized decals.
I tend to avoid the brand these days.
I'm looking forward to the rest of your build, it's gonna be a stunner.

Outstanding work, especially given the short run nature of the kit.
Another stunner in your display cabinet, Marius!
