It looks great! What kind of paint did you use to paint? I also want to build a similar kit in the future, but I can't figure out what colors to use.

Hello Duster, In this case I used Tamiya's XF-50 Field Blue, I originally painted it about twenty years ago... but I didn't have the complete Argentine decals. and the ones I had dried out over time, since at that time I did not varnish my models. So what you are seeing now is a retouched mockup.

I don't know why, but this is one of my favourite planes. Nice work!

Alejandro, thanks for the answer! I will look for an analog made of water-based acrylic.

Hello Duster.... the XF-50 of tamiya is an Acrylic Paint, anyway you can use Grey Blue (71.005) of Vallejo Model Air

I agree! A pity that the decals are of inferior quality.
