Hi everybody..thanks again Steve, and there are some pictures of my scratchbuilt 1/16 Skyhawk, at the primer stage of painting.  I used an air can to paint the finish and using a fine brush with grey on some places like landing gear bay or doors.

The model is actually ready to receive the final spray, I hope to paint the "beast" on Malvinas cammo, but, I really don`t feel sure about  the unit and this makes it difficult to know which colours to choose, or a number unit designation or the names over the planes.  I do hope it looks like EL TORDILLO, because I want to finish a model in a grey finish, -I like grey- to paint a more accurate or real weathering, and El Tordillo gives me this chance. (just personal taste..:-)
Thank you all for viewing my gallery submission, I hope you all like the model.
