Regarding white - primer can help as do multiple layers. I hate the color too when airbrushing.

Thank You for your advice Palo. I ordered two type of white surfacer. I hope one of them will help.

I like the grey Tamiya fine surfacer, but had a bit of trouble with a white Mr Color. Just be sure to do short bursts as light passes, don't drown the model in the paint.

Good luck!

Thank You Dave. The white color is not soo perfect, but the decals make it better.

Turned out beautiful. Congrats!

Ferenc, what was your experience with the white surfacers? Any recommendations?

Some nice work on a kit that is as old as me... 😮 I wonder if the cold war would have turned hot, if anyone would have the heart to actually shoot at one of these things... It looks just so cute and pacifist & like it just wants to play, no idea why the called it the "Viking" 🙂

Thank You Paolo. First of all, i am using brushes to paint. I used the Mr. Surface 1000. I made two layers of that. After that i used three layers of mr color white. The panel lines nearly dissaper. I tried revell colors too. The same not soo good result. Maybe with airbrush, the result can be much better.

Thank you Slavo. The kit old, but surprisingly good. I like that plane since i saw the Final Countdown. One of my favourite movie.
