IPMS19 2,721 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 - Very nice demonstration of the quality of Rub'n Buff to represent realistic bare metal surfaces - Just mind finger prints 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Model Mate 870 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Lovely finish! I’m a fan of rub ‘n buff too, but it rarely comes out as good as yours - a bit of handling and it starts to rub ‘n off! I usually seal it with Klear (diluted with water and a fair bit of washing up liquid to break the tension and allow it to cover properly). This does dull the metal effect a little, but at least it stops rubbing off. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TonyW 10,776 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 A beautiful model. Landings must have been interesting. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

loloskymaster 260 Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Thank you, gentlemen ! I am happy to see you appreciate my build. On 1/7/2021 at 1:28 PM, Model Mate said: Lovely finish!

The dull effect would be interesting for other metal finish like aircrafts who are few years old. Have a nice day Lolo Link to post Share on other sites
Mig88 4,298 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Great idea and fantastic execution!! That metallic effect is so impressive it looks like the kit is actually made from metal parts . It looks like the real thing in the photos, well done! Miguel 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
