Outstanding! 

The sheen of the BMF is stunning, what paint did you use?

Matt

Thank you Matt, I used Alclad, Polished Aluminium for the main colour with Stainless Steel and Duraluminium for the control surfaces and odd panels. 

 

Thanks again, chaps 🍻

Great job Al, super neat work.

Thanks very much James, I seem to be getting away from superdetailing and dirt these days, more neat and clean!

Stunning! Excellent finish on this one - I’m off to read the build thread and get some tips! 👍

Thanks very much Matt, might return the favour after the inspiration your Vulcan provided for my build a few months back 😉👍
