Looks really good! 👍 The Revell kit is this diamond in the rough and you are surely cutting and polishing that into something brilliant. 🙂

Hans, I was worried in the beginning start and during the testing because I was not getting the finish I was after, but after this paint job it looks like I finally figured them out and I literally fell in love with them.

Very nice finish. I'm also building same kit and would like to know what gloss black did you use. Thanks

Thank you everybody.
First - nice and clean surface without scratches (obviously 🙂 ), I have put base coat of MRP surface primer (not necessary), then first coat of Tamiya X-1 Black gloss (50/50) which was too thick so the second coat of tamiya black gloss was with more thinner (30/60 - paint/thinner). Next time I will go right away with the 30/60 mix. And then final two - three coats of thin layer of Polished aluminum (first coat was just dusting , second slightly heavier and the last was quite heavy but not too much heavy). I have not let the metal color dry between the coats - when the last surface of the model was painted, the first was already dry. but if you let it dry for 4 - 5 min - it will be sufficient.
and the important thing while airbrushing - low pressure (did not pay attention to PSI) just enough for the paint to spray without splattering and nice and close spraying.
Hope this will help.
