Patrick HagelsteinLooks really good! 👍 The Revell kit is this diamond in the rough and you are surely cutting and polishing that into something brilliant. 🙂

Martin FrckaThank you all for the kind words. Patrick, it's Tamiya X-1 gloss black thinned 50/50 with leveling thinner

Martin FrckaHans, I was worried in the beginning start and during the testing because I was not getting the finish I was after, but after this paint job it looks like I finally figured them out and I literally fell in love with them.

Faraz AnwarVery nice finish. I'm also building same kit and would like to know what gloss black did you use. Thanks

Martin FrckaThank you everybody.
First - nice and clean surface without scratches (obviously 🙂 ), I have put base coat of MRP surface primer (not necessary), then first coat of Tamiya X-1 Black gloss (50/50) which was too thick so the second coat of tamiya black gloss was with more thinner (30/60 - paint/thinner). Next time I will go right away with the 30/60 mix. And then final two - three coats of thin layer of Polished aluminum (first coat was just dusting , second slightly heavier and the last was quite heavy but not too much heavy). I have not let the metal color dry between the coats - when the last surface of the model was painted, the first was already dry. but if you let it dry for 4 - 5 min - it will be sufficient.
and the important thing while airbrushing - low pressure (did not pay attention to PSI) just enough for the paint to spray without splattering and nice and close spraying.
Hope this will help.
