That's cool Bill, it's good to keep discussions going and the build is finished anyway.

I am almost 70... this may explain it.

Bill, I forget things and I'm only 52 so I think your doing alright.

Always tough doing a good-looking NMF - so looks good. I use the Floquil (Railway) Silvers for my NMF with Old Silver having a scale look to it. Eagleston's P-47D is discussed (with plenty of photos of the a/c) at Eagleston's P-47D - LSP Discussion - LSP Forums. Cheers John

Vaughan, I have quick question about you P-47, which paint did you used for NMF?
Thanks in advance
Alberto
(Apologize if that was mentioned in the thread, but I didn't found it.)

Alberto that's no problem, I used Vallejo modelair aluminium for the NMF. I did struggle with it a bit the metallics remain soft for a long time and it's not possible to get the same finish that you get with Alclad.

Many thanks.
In facts on my P-38 I'm trying to use Alclad for the second time in my life and I must say that I'm having some problems, very likely due to my poor skills.
I hope to be able to post some pictures soon on the relevant thread.

The prop is now complete, nose spinner has been added and sprayed yellow it's also had a coat of klear last night. Weathering added with pro-modeller dark dirt and wear to blades with a silver pencil this morning. Need to move onto closing the fuselage next.

What is this silver pencil?
