Pete in a shed Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Has to be the best Veltro I've seen. The build is precision personified and the paint finish you have achieved is top notch. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Dog Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 All been said. Brilliant modelling and painting. Have been a bit skeptical of AK's RLM colours but they look great on your Macchi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewer Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 Thanks for the kind words, everyone! 3 hours ago, Red Dog said: All been said. Brilliant modelling and painting. Have been a bit skeptical of AK's RLM colours but they look great on your Macchi. I've been using AK's Real Colors on all of my builds this year and I'm quite pleased with the RLM's. The only one I have an issue with is the 02, which I mix 50/50 with 75 to get a shade I think is correct. They're also a joy to spray - they go down with the ease of Tamiya acrylics and dry to nice satin sheen like MrColor lacquers 74/75/76 again on my 109G-6: 81 (Dark Green) / 75 / 76 (Late) on my 190A-8 And for fun, 76 and 83 (Blue) on my what-if He162: I'm also impressed with some of their other colors, like the VVS colors on my La-7: And PRU Blue on my Spit XIX: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toniosky Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I find the mottling well executed. That's a beautiful build ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 An absolutely superb Macchi C.205, along with those other five beauties! Looking at all of them it looks like I should give AK Real Colours a try especially is they spray and dry as well as Mr Colour lacquers.

BritJet Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Lovely Veltro. The others are stunning as well. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold55 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Great job and I too will have to give AK's a try. I need to replace some of my RLM's and this might do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 WOW!!!!!! Your skills with an airbrush are clearly evident and impressive. Just an absolute beautiful work of art. Great photography results too. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
