    Truly beautiful work Keith (@greenterroz). I was looking at that natural metal finish and it looks like you got that laid down real nice and thin. Which method were you using for this? The combination of that NMF and the colors and the decals makes for some very attractive fighter aircraft.

    The engine work is also amazing. The colors look spot on and the detail on those is magnificent.

    @clipper - Thank you! I used Alclad Gloss Black as the primer. I let it cure for 3 days before applying metal colors. The P-47 is entirely Alclad White Aluminum. The P-51s are both Aluminum for the fuselage and Alclad white aluminum for the the wings. Additionally, the mustangs also have Alclad dark aluminum on select panels. All three are coated in Alclad Aqua Gloss varnish.
