What kind of metalized paint did you use? Did you use anything like Bare-Metal foil? It looks great.

Thanks gospodin very much!!

I used some Model Masters Silver and a little SNJ powder on the engine cowls. Their's no foil on this build. I feel the foil would not look as good on 1/144 scale, maybe 1/100 or bigger works well for foil.

Here's foil on a 1/100 scale DC-8.
Best Regards,
Brad

That's a terrific-looking plane there. I like the flaps down like that, looks really cool. You should enter your planes in Fine Scale Modelers magazine, they look that good.

Thanks gospodin!!

Maybe I'll give Scale Modeler a pic or two. I build these beast for collectors.

Best Regards,
Brad
