It's still a big model to brush paint silver successfully, I do think I'd like to get another one and use my new airbrush on it when I can get it unpacked.jeaton01 wrote:Stuart, I am pretty certain that the 314's were in silver lacquer finish for corrosion control, and the the skin itself was anodized for the same reason.
