Hi Chip,
I'm only getting the Super Sabre and theHe111...
but nice work.
The metal finish looks good...how did you do it?
What paint?
I've only done two all metal jobs before, a long time ago, one brush painted and one rattle can and stayed away from them since, but I am thinking of having another go, now I've got Humbrol metalcote to work...lol.
Cheers
Peter

The metal finish is Model Master Aluminum Plate Metalizer spray. From a can. Then I buffed it, decaled it, and then I sprayed it with Metalizer Sealer.
And let me tell you, when I do metal finsihes, they stink. And bad! So watch out if you go down that road.
Thanks!

I would use that MiG-17 for target practice (though that is not a reflection of your work). I have to admit I love the V-1 under the He-111. Something you don't see everyday.
