Super job on your finish, I love that dulled down aluminum look instead of a very shiney one!

Thanks for the info Stephen.  I'll have to look into the buffable metalizers.  The next two planes in my queue will be NMF, so I can do some experimenting.

Cheers, Mark

Thanks for the kind words.

  The finish is Model Masters buffing metalizers. After sealing and decals, I brushed on pastel chalk to get the worn effect.

Well done.  Great cockpit.  How did you get the exterior to show that way.  I like it.

I also want to know the answer to this question.  I love that faded look.  Great job on this build!

Cheers, Mark
