Maciej BellosIt looks great. I have it in my wishlist, so I would like to ask if you have encountered any difficulties when building it.

Gustavo AntonelliHi mates, thank you very much. I enjoyed a lot building the "Greased Lightning".
@Julián, you did an excellent job with your Hustler, I left you a comment in your album.
@Maciej: In spite of its age, it has a very good fitting. You should pay special attention while gluing the turbojets nacelles.
@Steve: There are at least 10 different shades in the BMF. I gave a first overall primer with Humbrol metallic chrome silver, except with the huge ventral pod, that was painted with Tamiya flat aluminium. Control surfaces ares later painted with a Revell mix of silver and payne gray. Some panels are shadowed with a graphite pencil, before giving an overall coat of Future.

Donald MedleyGustavo does anyone make the B-58 in 1:48 scale because 1:72 is a little small for this old man?

Donald MedleyMy eyesight is so bad and the parts are hard for me to handle, 1:48 is bad enough

Donald MedleyHere's a stupid question. Is the paint you used, is it buffable?"😢

Gustavo AntonelliHi mates, thank you very much!
Donald, I don't think that these kind of paints may be buffable, like Alclad, Testors Metallizer, Gunze Sangyo Mr. Metal, etc. paints. Unfortunately, These paints are hard to find locally. Anyway, I gave a gentle pass with a soft dry cloth over the paint before airbrushing with Future (strictly speaking, Blem acrylic gloss, the local equivalent).
