Nicely Done Gerald!
I like the natural metal finish as well as the orange colour on the tips & tail!
You should bring it next door to "Nordicon" this fall!

He's using the "A" word!
Why use someone else's product when I make my own!
This one was done with SnJ Spray Metal. I am about to start a TSR-2 using my Talon Series Acrylic NMF paints. Visit my website as mentioned or my blog

how about because "he" didn't know? since "he" put the first response up and nothing in your picture indicated anything of the sort. "he" has many skills but ESP and mind reading are not among them!

I have a full set of "Hawkeye" metal finishes, and I'm almost ready to use them. Can you tell me what to use as an undercoat, or if it is even necessary. I have seen where A*#@* needs gloss black, etc. I want to use it on jet aircraft (F-86, F-80, etc). Being the superior product that it is, does it need anything other than a good primer coat? I am looking forward to using the buffing powders also. Good to have fun.
Great build; beautiful finish; very clean.
Thanks,
Matt
