DJJunis Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Hello All, I have been working on this Academy B-29 on and off for a couple of years. Finally decided to make a big push on it to get it done. In any case I have not decided on the markings yet...but most likely a WWII machine. It has a gloss coat of Tamiya black as a base and many hours of polishing before putting on the the Vallejo aluminum...which is outstanding. I have a few panels I will be doing in varying shades but the overall came out pretty good I think. In any case I hope you enjoy the pictures. Of course any comments are greatly appreciated. All the Best! Don 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isaneng Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Chaps, what do you 'polish' paintwork with? I get the idea I think, particularly with a NMF scheme, but what do you use? Thanks, in ignorance, Isaneng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are readily available from a hobby supplier. Then buff with a very soft cloth until it shines. Then I blow air on it to removal any cloth fibers. All the time I am wearing gloves. Car modelers, which their brilliant paint jobs, may have other ideas. Hope this helps. All the Best! Don 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
