    To paint with oils on plastic one should first apply an acrylic grounding. On this model, I think the paint layer will start to flake, sooner or later. Also, to apply acrylic varnish on top of linseed oil is controversial. Instead of acrylic varnish, use oil paint varnish. After all, since oil is fat, a plastic layer on top of an oil layer doesn't sound right. Artists never do this. However, experience shows that oil over acrylic is fine, because it is fat over lean.

      The oil paint layer never becomes stable, unlike the acrylic layer. Changes in the underneath oil paint layer could cause the acrylic layer to delaminate. However, artists worry about how their works will fare in the future, a hundred years from now. Modelers don't worry so much about that, so they needn't follow the recommended oil painting techniques. It is not necessary to follow my recommendations.

    Very late to the party and you likely won't see this, but Leonardo would be nodding his head in approval at your sfumato. And he'd _love_ the aircraft. 🙂 A friend just gave me a "care package" for the virus lockdown. Three kits; a Spitfire VB trop, an ME109 and an I-16 24, all 1/48. And gave me lots of AK paints. I _know_ . a very good friend. He's very into modelling and thought it would be good for me to try it. After 30 years since the last time... 😮😄 He pointed me to your channel and just said "watch". I did. I thanked him for the kits and now I thank you for the inspiration. 🙂
