Woah! Nice! Can you give us a run down of the paints you used for the natural metal finish?

 

[Totalize]

Very nice work. She looks big even in 1/72 scale. Nice work on the photography too.

Of course. It's Alcad-2 "chrome for lexan"-alc 114, sprayed on black gloss Humbrol enamel used as base. Partly (main girder, ailerons, rudder) the base is semi-gloss (also humbrol enamel).

So if I understand you correctly it's all the same paint, just different finish black base coats?

Yes. Exactly. Painted by only one Alcad paint on different bases. That avoids a need of risky operation of masking a silver Alcad coat by tape.

She looks big even in 1/72 scale.

Yes, a big one. 50 tons of weight. B-24 or Lancaster-"only" 29 tons.

Well you used it to great effect my friend! I would have sworn you used at least three shades!
