Thanks Bruce. When I look at the last image taken at daylight, the Vallejo Metallics look convincing to me. I took very old Esci-Decals for that plane, which were thin and sensitive. Hope to finish tonight.

An ROK Mustang... I like it! Interesting use of the salt technique to impart wear on a natural metal finish.

Now this project is finished. First model in NMF done with an airbrush. Not to bad in my opinion.

Congratulations! I looked at the images close up and really your work is beautiful, Marius. Much deserved praise for your all of your finishing work—including the bare metal, chipping/weathering as well!

:shoutout:
Make more models!

Thank you all. Let's focus on new and current projects. Hope to reanimate the Academy Mustang first...
The Airfix F-51 , you know it Bruce, has to go on as well.
I am really thinking of doing another Horten, too
