Excellent job with base colors and shading. I am a fan of acrylic lacquers too and I have been using AK Real Colors on my last few projects. The only draw-back is that I must be very careful with ventilation and wearing proper PPE when spraying. The results are much better than water based acrylics (at least for me).

F1+FS is now complete. It's a nice kit with a very detailed cockpit. The Eduard PE really makes it pop. The decals went on without any problems. I decided to mask and paint the pink formation markings. I used the usual weathering techniques. Thanks for looking!

looks awesome - the colours seem spot on to me and the weathering is very realistic

What a fantastic and QUICK build, I'm impressed...and a little jealous as I am a slow builder. ? I especially like the cockpit area, nicely done. The good thing about a greenhouse canopy is that you can see clearly into the cockpit, the bad thing about a greenhouse canopy is that it is a greenhouse canopy...too much masking. Again - well done!

Thanks all for the comments. As a quick update, this model was able to achieve 1st place, "1/48 Multi-Engine", Best Aircraft and Best in Show at IPMS Regionals ModelFest in Cape Canaveral, FL on May 1, 2022. What a nice surprise. Thanks again.

Beautifully done. Just ordered one of these, looks amazing. ¿Have you replaced the guns for resin ones, or the included ones are good enough?.
