Have you thought about the  aluminum foil method?  Its kind of tidious but it looks really good and a Reynolds roll will do several planes. The alternative is Alclad paints, easy to use and the finish looks like real metal.

Home-made NMF
Posted by dgswen on Wednesday, December 16, 2009 9:34 AM

Hello, Ive recently returned to the hobby after a since-youth break. Although I prefer armor, I've started with the P-51D from Revell. Im doing an alternate nation/scheme than provided, while still NMF. Rather than spend the expense for SnJ Spray Metal as I had planned, I have decided to try and concoct a home-made natural metal finish.

My thoughts were leaning toward an aluminum enamel mixed with silver or regular pencil or graphite or perhaps silver chalk pastel.

 

Has anyone employed this unusual method or anything similar, or really anything less expensive than the purchasable NMF products for my first return model.

 

Thanks

 

Eric
