    Good evening gents.
    Now I know this is a figure modelling site, but I have posted a couple of my efforts of developing the NMM method for painting metals on figs. so I thought you might like to see how i have pushed it to aircraft ( not an area of modelling I"m normally into. ) Still I've entered it for Telford, hoping for a reaction from the aviation boys-
    They are mainly into alclad and the latest AK products so this could be a surprise for them! IMG_3337.JPG IMG_3338.JPG IMG_3339.JPG IMG_3338.JPG IMG_3342.JPG

    I am truly sorry, but it doesn't look like metal to me. Why use non metal when there is metal paint? :confused:

    We're I American, this would probably be my favourite aeroplane:). However, being English, it will always be the Spitfire!!!! Seriously though, great job, good to see it here, and good luck for Telford(y).
    Best wishes, Gary.

    I've posted it elsewhere, and similar divided reactions- why do it when there is metallic paint available? PF boys who use this technique - what is your answer? Mine is that it is more artistic than applying Alclad or AK products- if you slap on the boil in the bag products then you end up with a Dinky toy!

    It doesn't look particularly 'metallic' to my eye either, and I'm not convinced NMM works as well on such large surfaces. But that said, it's still a very neat and skilful paint job and I have to say well done for daring to push the envelope.
