must be those acrylic paints you prefer to use....they do dry faster,especially in a dry climate like Iran!

mine do take a bit longer,but it,s worth it. i,m going to make an assualt on my big Tamiya Cat today....i just attached the LG doors and external tanks,and worked on the burnt metal effect on the engine exhaust areas. next,the formiddable task of decaling the plane itself and the missiles!
