Alexey, this is really, really nice work! 

Smoothed wing surface, canopy down on the fuselage, differentiation between Silver and NMF areas, chipping where needed and overall weathering kept on a fine level and beautiful photography - well what can I write more? 🙂

 

I guess the only thing is, that you need to tell us a bit more about the colors... 😉

What did you use / how did you proceed? Is it Alu-foil?

(especially about Aluminum and Silver, I find them spot on)

 

Cheers

 

Ben

Hello Ben,

I'm glad that you like my work. The NMF areas were coverered by soft self-adhesive aluminium foil originally intended for flying models ("Flite-metal" may be you hear somewhere). Very useful stuff! The painted areas was airbrushed by decanted Tamiya AS-12 Bare Metal Silver which actually gives very nice smooth finish. Later I'll share more detailed photos and "how to" tips.

I noticed that @Flite-Metal  had recently joined the site, perhaps this would be of interest,  as a cross over between flying and scale models.

 

Great model Alexey,  I particularly like the ones on the airfield background

cheers
