Aluminum tape like this is very handy for applications like this. Nice and thin and very sticky.

Great job on the landing gear thingys, Wayne. The foil idea looks like a chromed shaft.

[Catch22]

Just went through this whole beast of a thread and wow!

Good to see ya back Cory, been wondering how you were!

Nice work there Wayne, looks tops.
Now then, this chrome foil tape - what sort of outlet would it be available from - hardware, plumbers merchants, art store?
I'll need to replicate highly polished metal in small areas on the Lightning when I get around to it, the nose intake ring being the main bug bear, and this tape will be ideal.

Terry, here in Canada, the aluminum foil tape is found at hardware stores and the so-called "big box" stores like Home Depot. Commonly used to seal heating ducts because of high resistance to degradation and its thermal conductivity. Send me a PM if you can't find any. Will gladly snip off a length for you and mail it.

Just didn't come on the forum for no good reason.

Stunning!

Cheers fellas, thanks...Terry the Chrome foil is from Model Master, got it years ago 2, don't even recall when or where....

Ok in to the home straight, working on the last bits of undercarriage stuff, added gun camera in wing today, more alloy stencils in the remaining area of wheel bay took ages to get this stuff in place without ballsing it up but got there in the end...first flat coat tomorrow...

 

[Crimea_River]

Looks awesome Wayne.

 

[Airframes]

Sure does Wayne, nicely done.
Thanks for the info on the tape and foil, Andy and Wayne. I'll have a look around and see if I can find any. I can get adhesive foil sheets, such as Bare Metal Foil company products, but I think the tape might work better over curves and rings. I'll let you know if I get stuck Andy.

 

[Gnomey]

Great work so far Wayne!

Never let it be said I would correct a pal's vernacular, but that's "home stretch"..... as in race horse track.... We'll let that go this time, but look out next time. Geeze... can't spell colors right either

Stunning work, Wayne....

Good on ya Wayne, whether on the "home straight", approaching the finishing post or on the "home stretch" on your last turn to the finishing line, it's looking good.

Just a little word play Charles, trust no offence taken with my behaviour for none is intended, just a touch of Anglo Aussie humour and fun.

 

[Zaggy]

Home straight... that whole 'feel 90% done', but in reality, you're only 50% done, kind of thing?!?!?! I know the feeling!!!
