cant imagine a DC-3 in 1/48 must be huge! and you have more than 4 right Lyle?

Wow...some nasty seams on this MOJO...

This thing has a wingspan of a bit over 23", so it takes up some space! I had forgotten how big it was.

I actually have 6 more - 3 DC-3 and three C-47. Love this guy.

Seams cleaned up pretty good or so it appears to me. I'll post some pics later. Been one hell of a day and a half.

used the rattle can chrome...6 dollars a can versus 8-9 dollars for Alclad.





A bit of a seam above the cockpit is visible, but that is the way it will be.

Well done, Lyle. Lookin' quite Chromy.

And now you have to polish, footman!

Polishing smiley -->

That chrome finish looks nice. I often use spray can for metallics. My suggestion would be to put an oil wash over the chrome finish and that a flat coat, that gives a very nice "used" look to your model.

Thanks, gentlemen. Borg, I think she will be fairly shiny as the airline would keep the ship pretty clean. I guess I'll get an old sock out and rub it down.

Ladys and Gentleman, in this thread Lyle invented the olfactory weathering!

Hey, it was that or underwear!
