Project moves on. I found quite hard finding the right red for this livery. I first decided to use Vallejo 70.908 but shortly realized it turned out being closer to a fresh salmon. I have then washed it away and applied a coat of yellow to highlight the red layers on top. This time I went for the 70.909 (Vermillion) which reveals better... doesn't it? WIP. To be continued

WIP - still in progress. Had some issues to get the best red for the model. In the end I removed the applied Vallejo 70.908 and decided to go with its vermillion brother 70.909 over a coat of 70.915 intense yellow.
