I got the base colors painted on tonight. I used my favorite aluminum color which is from krylon. the yellow and black is craft paint.
It is also clear coated and ready for the decals next!

Beautifull work, specially in this scale

Part of the appeal of 1/72 scale aircraft is to relieve pressure on detailing. However, you seem to have gone above and beyond to make this kit interesting. Good job!

Have to check in more often...some builds are way to fast for me!

Very nice job in every part, looks really nice!
