Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the kind words. I am a quest for the most realistic looking natural metal finish on a model airplane. I liked the foil, but it is a bit too shiny. I found this item on the internet regarding Rub n Buff. I' Think I'll buy a Revell F-86 and try Rub n Buff on it. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234942082-f86f-sabre-531-th-fbw-chambley-afb-1956-hasegawa-132/

Attached are photows of two airplanes. The ome on the left is painted with Testors' ALuminum Plate Metalizer paint. The P-47N is finished in foil. IMHO, there is no substitute for the real thing. I've never used Alclad. Maybe that is closer to the metal foil finish.
Toshi You did a fantastic job with the foil. Toshi

Thanks,
I have tried to replicate aluminum airplane panels using paint. But, I never liked the way it looked. Nothing beats the look of actual metal.
Very nice work with BMF it can be a pain to work with

Following is a detail picture of the revits and another picture of the P-47 with a B-17.
First I used a straight edge when making the rivets. Later on I discovered that I could run the rivet wheel freehand. That went a lok quicker.
Aggieman Having done a couple of metal foil jobs, I appreciate the difficulty in getting all the foil into place. You have done a magnificent job. Love the last pic with the B-17 in the background.

Well, I finall finished the P-47. This took way longer than I expected; but I am really pleased with the results. I think that the rivets add a lot of realisim to the model. The weathering was done with Tamiya Smoke.
I used 1 1/2 sheets of Bare Metal Foil. Next winter I plan on doing a 1/48 B-29 in Metal Foil. I figure that I'll need 8-10 sheets of foil for that buiold.
