And a „ few rivets" you added ! Super accurate work, great nmf ! I probably will habe to five Vallejo Metal a try, no black primer ?

At first I used the Vallejo black gloss primer. After that, I sprayed Vallejo Metal Aluminium in different thickness. The next shades will be mixed from Aluminium, Jet Exhaust and Chrome. I sealed the paint with the Vallejo Metal Varnish.
