Bomber_County Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 Another update, so with the IP and side walls complete, time to do the aux tank and radios, added some wiring to embellish the area and tried to get a insulated covering on to the aux tank. Engine coming on slowly, tried a new method here, AK extreme aluminium and the over sprayed with Vallejo RM66. When rub it the alumni shows through, early stages yet but it might work....... Also tried the radiators again using AK True Metal gunmetal and then added a black wash over it. After drying buff as required. ........The seat is the mid production 51 seat with Eduard belts, they have to tidied and secured to look right..... 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Looking good Phil. I never thought about buffing AK's Extreme Metals and have the feeling that wouldn't change the look a lot. I would be interested in your experiences. Cheers Rob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Rob Thanks Rob, much appreciated, the True Metals are buffable but never got the Extreme Metal to buff. I used the True Metals on radiators and Extreme Metal on the engine...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the only two enamel based products I use.... https://ak-interactive.com/product-category/paints/true-metal-paints/ https://ak-interactive.com/product-category/paints/xtreme-metal-paints/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Rowdy, for once I’m pleased with the colours, the Zinc is an old Xtracolor enamel and is the closest i can find. The rest are Vallejo.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll love the build when you start..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
