These new photos really do display the quality of your paintwork to great advantage Werner - lovely work. I'd say leave it as is without weathering.

Some nice painting!
What Alclad colours did you use? And did you seal the paint before you masked it?

thanks!

 

so, I used 3 shades of Alcald II namely Polished Aluminium (a bit of an overkill as I did not gloss base paint the model ), Airframe Aluminium as the main color  and Burnt Iron and mixed those three to my liking.....

 

 

I probably should have sealed the paint, but after the first masking and repainting the masking tape area ;) I simply waited 2 more days and did not have issues after :)

Excellent work! Being rather partial to Soviet designs (my avatar of Marshal Zhukov and my subtitle of 'Il-2 Shturmovik Anorak' are a bit of a giveaway), it's always great to see  nicely-done Soviet aircraft. I've worked mostly on Soviet GPW aircraft, but I'm expanding out into the post-war fighters (and bombers), and I do like the big Sukhoi's (Su-9, Su-11, and Su-15) and the big MiG's (Ye-150, Ye-152, Ye-152A, MiG-25, and MiG-31). Some people dismiss them as 'aluminium tubes' but I rather like the brute, powerful simplicity of their appearance, a bit like the E.E. Lightning in a way (which I've always felt would have made a good Soviet design - turn the thrust up to eleven, and forget about manoeuvrability!).

 

Regards,
