VF ID Valkyrie

[Quetzali]

I started to building it... I got some help to get these building manual =P

I have that glue from another kit I bought =P

I made some investigation about the acrylic paint, and Tamiya could be fine, BUT mostly of the price go to the flask than the paint, I try that one to starting.

I buy that set 0f 6 tubes of 70ml for that proyect.

 

I made some tries on how to paint the material, you can see some difference, (the black paint was from another brand of paint called "Pintart", I'm from México and you can get them from some stores, that paint is extremely great!, with a single hand is... Well, you can see the result, the problem  that I don't like is too mate tone and when you try to rasp is like plastic or something. The first part (left) I put a little layer of white, the second (right) is directly on the plastic, BUT need like 2 or 3 hands of paint, the other is like 2, I think I must to apply some varnish if it is that I want a little reflection, but not much but not matte either.

I go to complete the protect with that Paint, If I like the result I continue use it, or not, find another brand.

 

See ya 😏
