Well, had a morning airbrush session but the result wasn't successful because i got lazy and didn't mix colors and tried to achieve the F-35's color with XF-56 straight out of the bottle and obviously, didn't work.
After lunch i had to help my brother with some old furniture renovation work, meaning sanding and paint wood... got home after that and mixed 60% of XF-63 German gray, with 20% XF-16 matte aluminium and 20% X-11 Silver and the result was, IMO, much closer to real thing, but still a bit off.
I like how this came out and sincerely, i'm not about to waste time stripping all the paint off and trying again, even if it's not exactly how i wanted it to come out, i can try again on some other build so, no big deal. The pic is bad and doesn't show the slight metallic sheen it has, although it will show a bit better after the gloss coat, which, i'm hoping, will make it smoother.

Now, i think it's safer if i give it a good gloss coat, tomorrow i'll use Tamiya's X-22 for the first time, but not before i test it on one of my shelf of doom builds. I want to do it before i begin masking to paint the nozzle and then the RAM tape to prevent chipping and scratching.
