Its Fallen together, Have not gone mad on this one as the main reason is to test the finish I can get for bare metal.

What color and paint did you use for the NMF?
 28 April 2016, 22:03
Choppa Nutta
Turned out nice, liking the scheme of it and a cool plane too 🙂

Augie Author
Thanks Choppa 🙂

Clifford, the NMF s is technically not a paint. its wax gilt.

Dont let the raised details put you off, still makes a good show on the shelf!

Augie, what color did you use under the gilt? And have we already seen that FG. 1 trying to hide in the background?

oh, and nice "concrete shelf" that you have the models displayed on, too

Augie Author
Hey rex,

Under the gilt is bare plastic which for this kit was grey.

The FG.1 has been seen an is avalible in my project to see more 🙂

Thanks on the shelf, was just a print out of concrete texture to make it look a bit better

Clifford Keesler
That sounds like some neat stuff. How did you ever find out about using that? Did you seal it with a clear coat?
 29 April 2016, 21:41
Augie Author
Hi clifford, I used to use it for other artistic things. I have used it for shocks on undercarriges for years... just never been brave enough till now to use it all over.

It is sealed under future
