I have the Revell P-38J Lightning 1:48 scale on the bench currently. Rather than paint the bare metal finish I chose to use bare metal foil. I got the idea from the FSM book MODELER'S GUIDE TO REALISTIC PAINTING & FINISHING. Ol' Bucky (author) sure made it look easy. I'm thinking I may have attempted a slightly more advanced technic than I was ready for, however I think the end result wasn't to bad, for a rookie. I have applied a couple coats of future and the decals. I do believe the future left me with a little more shine on the anti-glare flat black panels than was should be; is there anything I can do about that? (dullcoat maybe?)
On deck awaits the Tamiya 1:48 P-47D Thunderbolt witch received a good review from FSM April 2003 issue. Great lookig plane, can't wait.
To answer your question I intend to stick with WWII ,1:48 scale war aircraft for a while at least.
Have a good weekend, I'm off to the Lake of the Ozarks for some "lake therapy"
