Very nice Wayne. Is it just me, (being here in the middle of nowhere) but it seems in a few of your posts, the photos are down side uppy. Or perhaps the Aussies are finally taking over.

Stunning work, Wayne. Any idea where to get that tape via the web?

I got it through my local guy, but type up Aizu Micron masking tape and you will get some choices...

How does it compare to Tamiya, Wayne?

...and for my 40000th Post some more work on the Shiden-Kai...

As I said earlier I gave her a coat of Mithril Silver and found some areas that required further work so i masked around a couple of spots/panels and set to fixing the blemishes yesterday and today so as not to disturb the surrounding paint and detail....then applied a new coat of the Silver and was happy with the result....upper surface had a lighter misting of the Silver as this is to be covered with the dark green camo. Ungercarriage covers done too, as well as the cowling, just forgot to add it in the pics!

and George, tape appears to be exactly the same as the Tamiya stuff.

Thanks for stopping by Guys

Beautiful, and congratulations to becoming the 2nd member of the "You Spend Way Way Way Way Too much time here" club!

 

[Wurger]

I echo the post above.

 

[fubar57]

I echo the above echos and thanks for the tape info Wayne. It seems it might be a tad cheaper than Tamiya.

Prem895, I'll step in for Wayne, MITHRIL SILVER is a paint that USED to be produced by CITADEL but it has been discontinued. Citadel now calls it Runefang Steel but word on the street is that they have changed the formulation and it is now darker though I cannot speak from experience. Depending on your perceptions of the color you could lighten it with gloss white. I personally use Tamiya XF-16 FLAT ALUMINUM though some find it too coarse for their tastes
