I used shades of Alclad for metal finish. I lived on Bunker Hill right before it became Grissom AFB.



That finish looks amazing. Do you have any issues with finger prints showing up after handling it?
Reminds me of one of the plated Hawk T-33 kits from once upon a time with that shiny finish… Beautiful job!!!
I’m old enough to remember when the P-80 ‘Shooting Star’ was introduced! Have built a couple of the F-80’s but nothing that compares to your T-33 - it’s gorgeous! Wish I could do NMF like that. Thanks for posting (and stimulating me to try harder)!!
Beautiful job on the NMF!
Very nice! Looks like you managed to make any seem lines disappear too! A daunting task for any NMF!
Nice. I remember seeing those on the flight line at Vandenberg and Wright-Patt.
Gorgeous! Lovely!
Beautiful metal finish! Great job dude.[Y]

Wow, Wow, and Oh Boy! That’s really a stunner.
Man! Great Bunker Bird! I live 45 minutes from the base but havent been to the air park in years. Might have to take a trip before it gets cold! Great build!
