I will throw my support in for the Vallejo Metal Colors. I've been using them since they came out and I love them. You've seen how good my jet exhausts come out using them.

Ok I'm sold now I'll pick up some of them Vallejo metal paints I've been looking for a nice brush paintable metal.

I got the HGW fabric seat belts built for the P-38 Lightning

This kit fits so well that the tailbooms can be added after painting so that's what I'm going to do. Here's everything put together and waiting for paint.

That's all for now.
Thanks for looking in!

Very sharp, Floki. That is some great seat belt work!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
