JohnB Posted June 16, 2021 Author Posted June 16, 2021 Painting done! Now it's time to add the extensive exhaust stains. (I had to put the walkway and fuel marking on before doing any staining. On the real a/c, they covered those in places.) 7
Martinnfb Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Very nice progress, you make it look so easy John, and shiny 3

Keep ‘em comin Peter l Expand These particular a/c all had heavy exhaust staining which should look good on the model. I left the cowlings off so I could do that. 4
Bomber_County Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 Looks good John, do you black base first? I’ve started using the AK Extreme and they suggest a black base……. 3

Peterpools Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 Hi John Awesome NMF and applied over a smooth gray primer, the aluminum finish has a very realistic metallic sheen. Going to have to give your method a try. Keep 'em comin Peter 1

Peterpools Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 John Gloss Black for the base seems to yield a deeper, metallic shine and the gloss gray yields a bit more of an oxidized finish. I'm leaning towards the gloss gray for a more operational look. Keep 'em comin Peter 1
