Hey all - I've been away from the forum (and my build) for quite a while BUT I'm now "back in the booth". I had over 300 forum posts to catch up on. You all do some amazing work. I'm very impressed with the photos and write-ups. Kudos to everyone!
As for me, I've gotten the NMF done on my Revell 1/48 AT-6 Texan. The finish is Alclad II Polished Aluminum (105) with selected areas done in Aluminum (101), both over Gloss Black Base (305). I'm quite pleased with the finish. It is MUCH better than the finish on my P-51D Mustang, so I feel I've progressed. The cowl and rudder are painted instead of decaled. I should be able wrap up this build next week.
