Geez Augie that looks nice! I almost missed the build completely. That must be a monster of a kit as I thought the 1:48 one was big.
 13 May 2020, 17:20
Augie Autore
Thanks Nathan, its a big kit.. minimal parts.. so quick build really.. the paint has been the longest part so far
 13 May 2020, 17:22
Augie Autore

 13 May 2020, 21:12
Augie Autore

Augie Autore

Augie: how magic did you use to produce the excellent alu finish?
 16 May 2020, 19:08
Spanjaard
Looking amazing. The hairy stick master making a NMF worth of her magic....

Brushedsilvermagic! Great looking Lightning!

Augie Autore
Oh wow, thank you guys I'm blushing!! 🙂

@Bernhard, the Alu is actually done using a wax based gilt called treasure silver (Now called treasure gold silver). I use it for all my NMF / Alu /Silver finishes.

Choppa Nutta
Ah how did I miss this ! .. can't believe you did that with a hairy stick !! .. it's so smooth ! 🙂
great technique required to pull that off over such a large area, hats off Augie 🙂

Olivier
Ha ha NMF... I had to look it up in the dictionary.
 18 May 2020, 21:25
Augie Autore
Thanks Choppa, with the right materials and some patience, its easy enough.

Olivier, glad you found it.. 🙂 surprised tho, fairly common in modelling circles I'd of thought.
 18 May 2020, 22:29
Choppa Nutta
Easy enough for you Augie😉
Weirdly my brother Stu took to it like a duck to water, I still kind of strugle with larger areas . . . .
Anyhoooo......

I thought NMF was a "Bart Simpsonism" ..... Not My Fault !! 😄 😄 😄

It's going to be a real stunner Augie, there is no doubt about that.
 19 May 2020, 21:17
Augie Autore

 22 May 2020, 01:31
Augie Autore

Anyway, this birds done.. 🙂

 22 May 2020, 17:56
Augie Autore

 22 May 2020, 18:00
Donald Dickson II
Well, if you count what I did back in the 70s and 80s, then another 50 or so. But those all are long gone. And included planes, cars, trucks, sci fi. All of which I have, just havent built any. LOL
 22 May 2020, 18:12
Augie Autore

 22 May 2020, 18:51

Augie Autore

 25 May 2020, 09:04
Slavo Hazucha
Wow - missed the build, but at least managed to see the final pics... Lovely work, all the details on the surface, the colorful decals - very cool. Also the position lights really sit & fit in the wings like on the real plane, nice job! Must be quite a handful on the table too 🙂
 1 June 2020, 10:07
Augie Autore
Thanks Slavo 🙂 its a bit of a handful.. but worth the effort.

James C
I always like your metal finishes Augie. Looking awesome 👍
 1 June 2020, 18:47
Augie Autore
thanks Jim 🙂

Augie is the Master of NMF finishes with the ole hairy stick. I would love to know how she does it. I can not get even close to her, even with a darn airbrush. I have even tried the AK True metal colors in the tubes and still can't get it. Don't know. LOL.
 2 June 2020, 02:25
Augie Autore
Hehe I've said the trick a number of times. Treasure silver which is a wax guilt applied with a soft flat brush like your waxing a car 🙂 works a treat
 2 June 2020, 07:47
Clifford Keesler
I will have to see if I can find some of that.
 2 June 2020, 15:12
Daniel
Interesting, I suppose it is very touch-sensitive?
 2 June 2020, 20:07
Augie Autore
I give it a coat of future of two, seems to wear well. been using it for years
 2 June 2020, 20:31
Olivier
Well it seems to be available in the UK only. At least for the time being.
 2 June 2020, 22:19
Clifford Keesler
That figures. LOL.
