Mr DGreat project, coming along nicely.... Now don't spray out your pre-shading like l did on my SU-30 🙄🤣.
Nice work 👍👍

Cristian A AuthorThanks gents!
Mr D's comment really made me pay attention to the pre-shading on the second layer, kudos to him. That made me think of a solution to keep the pre-shading so I ended up with this solution. Will keep the build updated, my target is to finish it by Sunday 🙂

Desert MarlinI really like this phase of painting! Seeing the seams disappear and the strength of the kit being revealed!

Cristian A AuthorWanted to finish the Mi-8 by today, but there are always plenty of details that pop-up and require attention. Anyway since it's close to completion, I decided to spend more time and do it in a relaxed fashion. Thanks Mr.D and Marlin. @Mr. D I want to build another Mi-8 on the Russian Blue-Gray camouflage, I think it looks awesome with the simple scheme as well: MRP-398 Gray Blue - Russian ..4,26,28,35 & Ka-52, MR.Paint Satin, Acrylic Lacquer, 30ml

Waiting for the wash and weathering!
