1/72 Hobbycraft F-86F-1


Recommended Posts

I hadn't built a model in over a year, due to the upheaval from selling our home, relocating and, finally, settling in to the new place. (This may explain some of my grumpy behavior, then again, maybe not). This came out pretty well considering how long a layoff preceded it. This is an example of brushing on Vallejo Metal Color. If you've been wondering if the stuff could be brushed the answer is yes, but it does require some patience.

I'm tickled pink about this product, and it gives me an opportunity to square some karma with Vallejo, since I generally bad-mouth their products all over the internet. Now they made something good other than the putty (I like that too).

Great result, especially the finish with that brush-painted Vallejo metallic.  There are several allegedly metallic paints in the Vallejo range: just so that I can rush out and buy the right thing, could you please give me the product number?   And how did you apply it?  Multiple coats or over an undercoat first?
