Official Natural Metal Finish Group Build

Rules

Any aircraft finished with foil, paint, or what ever else you use for a natural metal finish. The model should be at least 30% NMF. Any scale would be fine, prop or jet. You can use all the aftermarket stuff you would like or build  OOB. Cross overs would be fine and partial starts, cockpit started only, no air frame work done. WIP pictures are a must so we can build our skills, and they are losta fun to share. This will be a 1 year long build starting May 1 2009 and ending May 1 2010. So build 1 or 2 or more. And feel free to take a badge when you sign up, gotta give it back if you don't finish though.

The goal of the group is to have fun, build some fine looking models, and to learn something new.
