Its gotta be in a bare metal finish...c'mon now!  lol  I may darken the aluminum paint a little to give it that "bad guy" look, since he will be chasing an F86....

Hey again, y‘all! Happy belated Memorial Day! 

Good work on that Corsair, crown!

Justin, are you gonna use Alclad, the foil method, or something else for that NMF?

Ive been using Vallejo Metal Air colors for brush painting accents for a while now, I think I am going to spray this bad boy with them...

Curious how it works out Justin. I have not had luck yet with model air but have been gathering tips for my next try. Good luck!

That looks good Justin! I too am interested in how they come out. I've only used Testor's Metalizer (hated it) and Alclad for metallic finishes.

The F4U-N with landing gear and some weathering started.

I'm hoping to get back to it this weekend, so I will try to remember to take extensive photos when I get to it!

Crown, that corsair is amazing!

John,Gamera and Justin. Many thanks for your comments. The weather has been typical t-storms in afternoon. I need to plan to paint a light coat of clear flat to cut the shine in the A.M. but would like to add a Hasegawa F-86 in 1/48

Yeah me too.. I have an old monogram 86 on the shelf and now I remember why, too many broken parts so back to moth balls it goes.

I gave a light coat of Vallejo clear flat to knock off some the gloss, some small stuff to do.

Good job with your Corsair, crown!

So, I‘ve stalled long enough:

Installment 2:

If you haven’t seen Installment 1 or the explanation of my planned project, you can check out page 6 of this thread. The posts are near the end of the page I think. 

Meanwhile, I now have the tank for my project. It came straight from Russia— literally...

...and it even came with an extra mini-tank!

As for the figures:

Well, I changed the color of the first one’s boots, added some buttons, and a tin foil gun strap:

Other figures I’ve started:

I started on the F-86 ,cockpit,exhaust and airbrake wells. I do plan to use Vajello metal colors. I tried them on a test mig 21 looks pretty good.
