Thanks Stuart! The Alclad chrome isn’t as bright as I had hoped it would be, but it’s good enough for this project.

Looking good. For super bright shine (think polished aluminum planes) try Alclad airframe aluminum - ALC-119

Shiny....

John, that’s the look I was expecting from Chrome… but Alclad Chrome looks more like the Chrome lining on a M16 chamber and bore than like a Chrome bumper on a 57 Bel Aire. It’s not as polished

Yesterday I masked off the cowling and rudder, and today I airbrushed on the RLM 71, then did touch ups on the RLM 02 and RLM 65





Almost ready for the next assembly steps…

LOL! That's looking excellent.

Nice work, Carlos!

You know there is a whole series of these…
