I would check it out Don but I am not a subscriber and honestly not really interested to get a mag subscription paper or digital. Unless they have the article here on the website where I can access it for free........

step by step painting advice
Posted by Reaper420 on Saturday, June 15, 2013 10:28 PM
Okay guys I'm taking the plunge and want to achieve a pro looking paint job on my f15k by Academy. What I want to know is step by step advice on painting the model to achieve that realistic look. Please start from panel lining to base coating to final touches including decaling, and clear coats (non gloss. Want my jet to have a flat finish line a real f15) and what paints and other materials used. I was going to use microset and microsol for decals. Also whats the deal with pledge with future shine and when do I apply? I know it leaves a gloss shine which I dont want so do I apply a flat acrylic clear over top of it at the end? As you can see I reslly font know so I could really use your help on this one. I dont want to ruin an awesome model or have it look crappy.
