Antun Jankovic Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 It is not paint job. It is kitchen aluminum foil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missile-monkey Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Yea. I've just read this again and your other thread about the 104G. Foil ? I've never heard of that. How does it work ? How do you do it ? MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trenton guy Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Spectacular! The burnishing needed to get the foil down reproduces the look of real sheet aluminum ever so much better than painted on metallizers, which are beautiful to look at but miss the real feel of aircraft skin. Wish I had the patience, and skill to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 A tip from Alan P: To get the burnt metal affect, boil the aluminium foil for ten minutes with some eggshells' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
