looks like the bottom of a beer can! A very life like finish.

Beautiful work.

Re: 1/72 Hasegawa B-47E
Thanks for the nice comments, all!
I peeled off a bunch of masking this morning, sure comes off faster than it goes on. I used cutouts of the old Hasegawa decal sheet for patterns for the wing walks. The aft upper wings and the elevators were painted using Alclad polished aluminum over a base of Model Master insignia blue. SNJ powder was rubbed in on those areas after one coat of Alclad, then another light coat of Alclad was sprayed on to seal the powder.

Looking real sharp John. I didn’t realize that the entire wing undersides were not painted in the anti flash white.

If you can't fix it with duct tape, you're not using enough duct tape.
