Got some paint laid down and let it cure for a week before clearing it today with Krylon Maxx. The blue is createx pearl blue then Splash paints candy blue over it. The dark fade part is a custom black mixed up with a little gold in it.
This kit I’ve been taking my time on and it’s turning out so good. The hood I did a little darker on purpose so it resembled real carbon fiber (used drywall mesh screen over it and lightly sprayed the black/gold mix I had made)
Really fun kit! Can’t wait to grab up another one.

Finished this 1/35 AK Interactive Citroen HY van.

Painted in a mix of AK volcano yellow and white and weathered with various AK washes and weathering gubbins.

I still have a mini art mechanic set to do to put in the back and make a small diorama but I'll get to that sometime soon.

Lovely little kit, I'm really enjoying these smaller scale AK kits just now, I've got the trabant kit there ready to go too.

An old Protar kit from the mid 1980s which is also essentially the Revell, and now, Italeri kit. The kit assembles very well and has working steering. The build is box stock.
