mathy Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Hi all, here my ne ICM A-26B Invader in 1:48. Nice kit with some fit problems on the nose cone and engines. Add some Eduard PE´s and Master guns. Decals are OOB and have a pretty good quality Edited March 28, 2020 by mathy new size pictures 57 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28ZComeback Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Nice finish and build. Does the kit come with six gun option?? How did you achieve the amazing bare metal finish? Edited March 28, 2020 by 28ZComeback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holzhamer Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Very convincing model, it could pass for a genuine vintage photo if you try B&W effects. Splendid work, the best I’ve seen made from this kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you achieve the amazing bare metal finish? I used some Alclad colors. First Airframe Aluminium, than some spots in polished Aluminium, dark Aluminium and in"normal" Aluminium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildeSau75 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 this one turned out very nice - always liked the bird and did it more than justice. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza l Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Stunning work. Nicely weathered, very realistic... looks like a well used invader. Gazza l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldy Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Another beautiful model Mathy - I like the metal finish and find that Alclad is still my go-to metallic finish. One thing I would ask - Alclad airframe aluminium is one of the - shall we say - less durable shades. How do you go about masking over it?

Very important for all metalic Alclad colours is that you have to use a surface primer. I use for that MRP-255 black Acryl paints, wich works very well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
