discussion Airfix B17G ‘ Pleasure Bent’

[Farmerboy]

Another of my recent B17 builds, liked the thought of the Silver/Red combination, SMS acrylic laquers used throughout.

Superb work , the weathering and different shades of silver really add to the realism . A beautifully built model and lovely clear photos too. Love this , cheers tony

Lovely paintwork mate
can I ask if you did any extra sanding on the plastic surface to polish it before adding aluminium, or did you sprayed it like that? Cheers

Hi Steven, I didn’t polish the plastic but did prime the model with SMS jet black which gives a high gloss finish,
I was trying to achieve a more anodised finish to the aluminium to try and make the model look a bit more war weary which I why it has a more patchy appearance on the wings.
