LSP_Mike Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Menelaos, your finishes have gotten quite a bit better over the years. I'd have to say this looks as close to real as can be done, especially in B&W. Excellent sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menelaos Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Thanks guys.... The date was 1998..... Those great days are now gone...today there's not much time for modeling.... The NF is in my opinion one of the aerodynamic wonders of the aviation history... But a most dangerous one.... I wish I could have a time machine to go back at that time.....

Adam Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 You nailed it again Menelaos! Very interesting subject too. Very realistic finish - what "NMF" paint did you use? All the best Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menelaos Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 TNX Adam, I used the Humbrol metal cote silver that is a rub n buff paint mixed with gloss black in various mix for some regions on the fuselage... The real NF was even more polished if you look at some close up pics....but I think the result is ok... Best wishes Menelaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
