Fantastic build and presentation Mark. 👍 I love the display base with the mottled/splinter colors of each aircraft too. I'm still sticking with Tamiya paints though... 😉

Thanks John. I've got say even though I've just become a Fanboy of AKRC there's still a place in my heart for Tamiya Paints, they were a vast improvement over the Humbrol tinnies back in the mid to late seventies as where the kits over Airfix. 🤘🥸🤟

I may give the AKRC a try. I'm just used to how the Tamiya paints behave, dilutions that work for my airbrush, etc. If I understand correctly, the AKRC paints are also acrylic lacquers like Tamiya and Mr. Hobby so they should work with the same thinners and such. They do have a good color range compared to Tamiya for sure.

Yep. You're right John, lacquer based acrylics, as far as I can tell same formula different bottles. I did have some reservations about RLM02 1938 wether it was the right colour though. I used AK's thinners. I'd test on some plastic card with X-20 and Mr Hobby thinners to see how they behave, which I haven't done yet just ploughed on through with appropriate thinners to get the project over the line. Having said that I would still use Tamiya paints. I just got seduced by AK3G and like most affairs it did not work out well. On that note Atom and any new acrylic will be kicked into touch.🤣👍🥸🤘🥸🤟🤣

Thank you James and Rui S. Rui with my temperament installing electrics (I have problems with the 3 phase at work!) It's enough just to get them built and painted 🤣 and if you mean those discs, I was never a fan. 🤘🥸🤟

Yes. I was just wondering how good it works. Is it worth the extra money for the motorized feature? Thanks for the reply.

Hey John, whether it's worth it or not depends on what you value but it works great

Yes, certain similarities in the camouflage pattern cannot be denied. 🙂 It wasn't really the intention, it was supposed to be a mix of larger and smaller patches. But I still like it now. 🙂

It looks really remarkable. You have constant density for all the patches. Skills!

I love this kit, it was one of my favorite to build. You have done a masterful job on that camo. Looks great.

This is the best Arado 555 I've seen, and I've seen many. What paint did you use to achieve that excellent finish?

Many thanks to you both! I'm really pleased that you like the paintwork! The project has already taken a lot of time so far. At first I thought it would be a quick job, but in the end the sanding, re-engraving and the countless thin layers of paint have taken a lot of time. Probably also because I watch series on the side 🙂
@HSC1932: I now only use Vallejo colours, mostly the Model Air colours if available. I also thin them a lot now: 4:2:3 (Flow Improver : Thinner : Paint). For the two main colours I used Vallejo MA 71.257 Light Blue RLM76 and MA 71.259 Grey Violet RLM75.

Thanks Mr. Secretary! 😅 Now that you mention it, it does look a bit like a ray. A ray with giraffe skin. 😁 Your Arado looks great too! What an idea with the camouflage. 👍🏼
