--------------------

 

This model is a very good option to practice with some of the metallic paint available on the market, in my case the option was SNJ. The model is very good, I didn’t have any problems in the assembly process. I only added some after market details for the cockpit.

The paint was a very hard job in this model, but necessary to have a realistic metallic finish. All the plastic parts were washed before the assembly and when all the assembly process was finished, all the model was polished and prepared for the SNJ base paint and the final step was with the polishing powder. 

All the hard work has a reward and in this case the final finish is this.
