Build This Aircraft
Complete original paint requirements and documented options reviewed. Source scheme: Z-526AFS, SP-CSU, s/n 1226, Piotr Haberland, Żelazny Aerobatic Group, Zielona Góra airfield, Poland, mid 2007. Original names and codes remain visible. Approximate or cross-family choices start unchecked; dried color, sheen and special effects are not certified equivalents. AK True Metal options are polishable waxes: prime first, brush on, then polish after drying; allow 48 hours. They differ from the solvent-based polishable Mr.Metal Color family. Do not use X20A or Mr.Color thinner with wax. Tools and thinning purchases are unchecked. Each thinner applies only to its named family. Digital swatches are provisional; out-of-stock cards stay disabled. Source details retain all options, conflicts and original mixtures.

Store option: True Metal Gun Metal AK461. Unchecked polishable dark-metal candidate. AK True Metal Gun Metal AK461 is wax-based and is applied then buffed after drying; it is not Mr. Metal Color MC214 and its dark warm hue can differ. The polishable metallic function is retained, but dried shade and sheen are unverified. Prime first as AK recommends and allow 48 hours to dry. Apply by brush without an assumed thinning ratio. Do not use X20A or Mr. Color thinner with this wax. Candidate finish: Metallic; paint type: wax-based.

Original mixtures
- Red wheel-well mixture. Original paint family: GSI Creos Mr. Color. 50% C327 + 50% C114. Original ratio: 1:1. Printed expression: 50% C327 + 50% C114. Placement: E21/E22 wheel-well interiors only; B exterior red remains C3. Instruction selector: 3, marking B only. Applies to scheme(s) B. This recipe is not selected for the guide’s initial scheme. Printed same-family alternative: GSI Creos Aqueous; 50% H327 + 50% H414; ratio 1:1. Printed same-family alternative: Mission Models Paints; 50% MMP-101 + 50% MMP-003; ratio 1:1.

Placement: E9 indicated visible engine metal detail. Instruction selector: 4. Applies to scheme(s) A; B; C; D; E. MMM-003 is visibly shown with MC218, but no Mission gold code is printed with MC217. A complete Mission Models recipe is not supplied; this is not a cross-brand mixing instruction. Instruction page(s): 7.
- Blue exterior mixture. Original paint family: GSI Creos Mr. Color. 80% C65 + 20% C34. Original ratio: 4:1. Printed expression: 80% C65 + 20% C34. Placement: All scheme-D blue exterior areas, including wingtip tanks. Applies to scheme(s) D. This recipe is not selected for the guide’s initial scheme. Printed same-family alternative: GSI Creos Aqueous; 80% H15 + 20% H25; ratio 4:1. No Mission Models blue mixture is visibly specified. Instruction page(s): 14.
Options and supplied materials
- SP-ELE markings within scheme A. Not selected for the guide’s initial scheme or configuration. Alternative decal numbers only; same palette. Instruction page(s): 11.
- Wingtip tanks and navigation lights. Paint keys: C47; C138. Required configuration for D/E, optional C, absent A/B. Not selected for the guide’s initial scheme or configuration. C tank surfaces use C2/C329; D uses C1/blue mix; E uses C1/C3 according to scheme. Instruction page(s): 6; 10; 13; 14; 15.
- PE instrument panels versus instrument decals K1–K5. Not selected for the guide’s initial scheme or configuration. Choose correct supplied marking-specific face; no additional color. Instruction page(s): 6.
- Optional seat cushions and cockpit PE details. Paint keys: C33; C331. C331 is B-only; C33 cushions are A/C/D/E. C33 remains a common engine color even if optional cushions are omitted. Instruction page(s): 3; 4; 7.
- Open canopy and optional PE6 D/E fitting. Paint keys: C2. No new paint beyond stated frame/detail and selected scheme colors. Instruction page(s): 9.
Unspecified and ambiguous details
- Prepainted PE instrument faces, harnesses and details lacking paint keys. Use supplied prepainted/printed parts or explicit optional decals. No extra black, tan, brass or harness paint inferred from illustration. Instruction page(s): 3; 6; 7; 9.
- Clear glazing/masked areas and open-canopy variant. Explicit K12 frame/detail colors and chosen exterior scheme govern stated areas; no new color from mask shading or transparent plastic. Instruction page(s): 9; 10.
- Aftermarket accessory renders. Excluded from included-kit palette; no colors inferred. Instruction page(s): 16.
Paint and cement
- Cement is required for assembly.
- Photo-etched parts are included.
- Page 2 mentions use of glue/paint and their safety; no specific adhesive brand or finish product is prescribed.
Source limitations and material guidance
- Each original mixture belongs to the paint family printed with it. The engine mixture is 90% Mr. Metal Color MC218 plus 10% MC217. Mission Models MMM-003 is listed for aluminium, but the gold cell is blank, so no complete Mission Models metallic recipe is provided. No Mission Models blue mixture is specified.
- Black C2 and Flat Black C33 remain separate roles although both list MMP-047. Dark Seagray C25 and H331/C331 are also separate entries. The 50/50 red mixture is only for scheme B wheel wells; that scheme's exterior red is unmixed H3/C3/MMP-003.
- Scheme E's heading prints Z-ERE while the artwork and explanatory text identify OK-ERE. Both identifications are retained.
- Use the supplied prepainted photo-etch or instrument decals where shown. Unkeyed harness, instrument, mask and clear-part illustrations do not add paint colors. The page 16 accessory images and Z-226MS 82182 advertisement are outside this kit's palette.
