Michael, Just an outstanding build of one of the largest models I've ever seen. Your NMF is what I would expect of an oxidized Aluminum finish to look like, not shinny, but not weather beaten either. Your various shading of panel lines really comes off well. Oil streaks and stains look perfect as one would expect.

Can you share with us what brand of Aluminum finish you used? and how many bottles you went through.
Joel

Absolutely fantastic Michael. I'm still trying to visualize how big it must be, well done. How long did it all take?
