AngoMango Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Sweet Steve, really dazzling stuff. I am planning a foiled mustang in 1/24 at some stage but I am wondering about using the cheaper kitchen foil. Have you ever used this stuff? Did you have to dull the foil anywhere on your P51? If so, how? Thanks Steve, that's a real gem. Mango. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 30, 2004 Author Share Posted June 30, 2004 Hello guys thanks for the kinda words yes she is SWEET !!! I used Bare Metal Foil all around i would never use kitchen foil to thick and on top of that you have to piss around with putting glue on it or the plane NO THANKS. I used BMF Chrome and Matte Aluminum then put decals on it the sparyed 2 coats of flat sealer that's it. Take care and happy modeling to you all. Steve Blind Bay BC.

I know i shouldn't stop biulding model airplanes BUT it goes like this as a kid My Daddy use to take me down town Vancouver to the Main train station and go to CN's yard there and watch engines do there switching and stuff. It's like i'am drawin to trains like a magnet IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, and on top of that year and half ago i spent $4000.00 on camera and lens to shot the CPR which is 5 minutes from my house TRAINS are in my blood to the core. I get more joy out of taking pictures then i do modeling airplanes so i must go were my heart is and that's with trains. I not really getting out just going to be modeling trains now, i still have 3 kits to biuld 2 1/32 and 1 1/48 so be on the look out over the next 2 4 months for my Diorama it's going to make that 1/32 P-51D look like CRAP LOL Just Kidiing i love it.
