Hi everybody!
I'm new here...
Here is my problem...
I'm just about to start doing Academy B-29 Enola Gay .. Those pictures of Enola Gay that I have show that this plane has polished shiny metal surface. But all paint I have is rather matt. Even picture of assembled kit on the side of the box (painted with matt paint) looks not natural... I've heard that there are some types of paints that give an effect of polished metal... Could anybody suggest me a brand name for those and give any useful hints in how to work with it?

Thanks in advance

Greg

Alclad II or Buffable MM Metalizers will do the trick, there have been several discussions here of NMF natural Metal Finish. Search topics for Alclad, Metalizers or NMF to find them, and good lock with your Enola Gay.
