woody37 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 What a stunner, love the metal finish you've achieved and it's posed in an attitude that's meant for the Lightning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

propforward Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 That's absolutely brilliant! What a fun way to show the model off - I totally want to rip off that idea. Also - very interested in the metal finish - looks superb. That is the Vallejo acrylic metal finishes? How were they to work with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How were they to work with? Thanks. The Vallejo metal Colour is fantastic IMHO. Sprays straight from the bottle and brush paints with ease also. Hard enough to mask in under 10 minutes..... I'm converted. Used to use Alclad for NMF but no more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booty003 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 An absolute cracker, great finish with the Vallejo - I have just started using them myself and like the way they apply via the AB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy341 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 A truely inspiring and stunningly painted model. I have found that the Vallejo Metal Colour paint really effective and easy to use with an air brush. I love the way the model is mounted, very dynamic and allows the viewer to see the aircraft from either a top or bottom view. Must start my Airfix F1A 1/48 in 56 Squadron colours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
