Nice save. This is a very attractive paint scheme

Thank you 🙂 I do rather like the Advan colours too.

So the black/red stripes are just black decals? Would be easier/nicer to paint the red and mask the stripes before painting black. Would be hard to align maybe, but a better result?

Yeah the body stripes are just black decals and the bonnet stripes are just red decals: scalemates.com/content/content.php?id=608987

I think theoretically you could get a much neater result by masking instead of the using the decals. However I don't think I could. I've never had much luck with masking, the paint always bleeds underneath for me.

Super!

Stefan
congrats for doing this good job without using an airbrush 👍🙏

Thanks for the nice comments.

Stefan, I have considered trying an airbrush but it just seems like such a faff. For me it is more important to enjoy the build and I'm less fussed about the quality of the finished product, which is why I stick to brushes.

Good choice of color!

Hello Juliet, enjoying the hobby is what counts!

Nice Mitsubishi, Juliet, I think the Tamiya rattle cans are pretty good.

Stefan, that is exactly my philosophy. 🙂

George, I've tried spray paint on other projects and made such a mess with them I've never tried them on my models.
