Nice bare metal finish Andy. Just out of interest, what did you use BTW?

Lucky13 · May 1, 2010

That Alclad II thingy maybe?

vikingBerserker · May 1, 2010

Nicely done Andy!

Wildcat · May 2, 2010

Thanks heaps for the comments guys! Terry I used Tamiya TS-83 metallic silver spray can, same as on the spit I did for the PTO build.
Latest update has the white tail and wing leading edge theatre markings as used by RAAF and USAAF a/c in New Guinea along with a red fuselage band. As you can see I need to touch up the red a bit. The radiator intake has also been painted black.

Great results with metallic finish Andy. This ones going to be a stunner.

Cheers

Nicely done, keep 'em coming.

Wildcat · May 2, 2010

Cheers mate Small update - I've fitted the exhaust stacks and ring and bead sights (to be painted), painted the guns and wheel wells.

T Bolt · May 2, 2010

Man, that's looking nice! Strange to see a P-40 in NMF. I like it!

Looks great Andy, and that's a bl**dy good job for a spray can! I tried using one years ago, before I got my first airbrush, but found that there wasn't enough control, and a lot of splatter and 'orange peel' effect. That said, it was one of those large enamel cans, and not a modelling product like the Tamiya stuff.

Lucky13 · May 2, 2010

Bl**dy brilliant mate!

Wildcat · May 4, 2010

tHANKS FOR THE NICE WORDS GUYS!

Using a spray can can be a bit difficult at times Terry, especially when trying to touch up small areas. This is especially true with the silver, as any touch up jobs with a brush stands out like dogs balls. Even though the finish I achieved is far from perfect, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Next step is the decals!
