Thank you, thank you, thank you all...
I'm busy, but I can't stop reading and making my models. I've been focusing on finishing this plane and preparing another one for the VPAF.
I'm bringing you the latest progress, and although it's quite advanced, I have to try to solve the various painting problems, which are more my fault due to carelessness than mistakes during the painting process...
This is how it looks so far from last week and the latest work done today... I'm waiting for the glue to dry properly on the pieces that fell off due to careless handling before I start finishing off the paint...
The order from the Exito Model Shop has been a complete failure. It took 14 days for delivery to arrive, and there's no sign of it arriving. I've contacted them, but so far, no concrete response, just that it's in transit, just like the poczta-polska.pl website. So I won't be able to finish painting the upper gray until they decide to ship it or until it arrives, and it's really bad that they tell me it won't arrive and that they'll refund my money so I can order the paint elsewhere...

What you have done so far looks great, shame about the miss placed order.

Thanks for such kind words, friends... you're very good.
I already have all the decals in place. I'm so tired of sticking decals on and they don't have silvering... on a black background, it's frankly very difficult to get these decals to not leave silvering!!! I think I've managed it after days and days of tapping the decal to apply Micro Set and Micro Sol to eliminate bubbles... and some paint touch-ups, but finally, my package arrived from Poland... I won't buy from this store again. On top of that, I don't declare the taxes and I had to pay them to pick up the package... it was the same price as if I had bought it in Spain, and it took a month and a half... so I'll be talking to Manolo again, piece by piece, and with Migue from AK for my orders...
I'll change Mr. Color and Mr. Hobby to Real Color and that's it... since my friend Keijo can no longer send me paints due to customs issues between Spain and Japan...
Let's get to the photos and leave the controversies and internal thoughts for later...

Well done. Gloss coating before decals usually solves the silvering issue but you probably know that.
