This project took 9 months and 8 sheets of Bare Metal Foil to complete. The WIP is located here: http://cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/2/t/177188.aspx
This is a large model with a 36" wingspan and weighs-in at over one pound. It is an older kit originally made by Monogram and it is loaded with engineering issues that make it a challange to build. You can follow those in my WIP. It is the fifth model that I have finished using BMF. The cylindrical shape of the fuselage really highlights the grain and metal finish of the BMF. I used two colors of BMF, Matt Aluminum and Improved Chrome to add visual variety to the final finish. Following are photos of the finished model.
Yep, that's me holding the finished model. Yes, it is a big model.
The next model that I will be building is:
And yes, it will be finished in Bare Metal Foil. I figure that I will need almost 4 sheets to cover just the wings.
