Gazzas Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Well... I wasn't trying to imply that you have to make it look like a mirror. You can add some shine without going over the top. I'm sure that new, there was some shine as aluminum doesn't come in matte when it's fresh off the rolling machine. It oxidizes over time for sure. But an in-service machine wouldn't look like a derelict that has been baking in the sun for 50 years. Not trying to start an argument. Just saying that there's differences.

ShelbyGT500 Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 Yes Gaz, I'm absolutely agree with you. Of course there are a differences between panels When I make a river lines, will sand the panels in different directions, to achieve those differences. Thanks my friend Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyGT500 Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 Hi again guys. Thanks Madmax, I'm glad you like her Well continue with the rivet-lines - two days riveting the fuselage and after that sanding panels at different directions. Just like Gaz said different panels - different shinning I thing it is a good result for now /more weathering at near future, after masks and decals / The canopy also foiled: Aaand tomorrow continue with the wings: Cheers my friends mgbooyv8, NukerDan, nmayhew and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
