allthumbs Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I really like how you approached the NMF, the marble base coating and the final clear finish...very avante-garde, not to mention effective! Congratulations on another stunner Eric. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 This is a superb build by Eric, to say the least! On the back of receiving some great Fisher kits in the past I pre-ordered the X-1A & it arrived in the UK a couple of weeks ago. I was very impressed. I'd intended building the white version if the 1A due to having little experience with bare metal finishes but seeing Eric's build has inspired me to order a second kit to be built as bare metal 1B. I only hope I can do the kit justice! Regards Russell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Eric, Could I ask what the two main alclad shades were that you used on the top of the wings please? You replicated the difference between the central panel & the remainder of the wing perfectly. Regards Russell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericg Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 Hi Russell, I used Duraluminum and for the large panels I used semi-matte aluminium. Hope that helps. Eric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
