Again a small progress. There is not much time for modeling on working days.

The first stage of painting, spraying with Mr. Surfacer 1500. Shades of gray and black. The manufacturer did not recommend any color from global manufacturers. So it remains to choose from fifty shades of gray.

Painting , the manufacturer did not recommend any shade from the world's paint manufacturers. That's why I used my educated guess. Base XF-53 Neutral Grey Tamiya + Russian Green No. 3 in a ratio of 60-40% resulted in gray with a light green tinge.

That's some great progress. Have you ever tried the gloss clear trick for decals? -You spray either the entire model OR just the area where the decals will be applied with gloss clear, it eliminates silvering/ghosting of decals. Seal the decals with another coat of clear over the top.

I used gloss varnish as a base under decals, then applied them and in the end softener and ultra strong softener.
