Treehugger Do the decals in the kit fit the metal look scheme?

Yavuz Engin Thank you Frank and I'm wondering too.
Treehugger, I don't know yet because I am not at that stage.

Łukasz Gliński Your metalizers look amazing, keep it up 👍

Yavuz Engin Thank you Łukasz. This is my first time with the metalizers. I hope I will not mess it up at the end.

Treehugger I am wondering, how long is this model in 1:72 scale? I usually wonder about such things, when trying to figure out if I can place kit models inside any of my glass cabinets.

Yavuz Engin Treehugger it's about 46 cm. in length.
Erik, unfortunately they are steady. Beside my efforts I can't manage to set up flicking leds. I am not good at electronics.

Erik De Smet You can find flickering leds on eBay or inside so called safe tea candle lights, they have something built inside the led that makes it flicker.

Dave Flitton Why do you want them to flicker? It will make the engines look like they are flaming out.

Yavuz Engin That's an another point of view. You might be right Dave.
Kerry COX Your setting a new standard in reality in plastics Yavus. 😉 👍

Kerry COX That's why I stick with this crazy hobby Yavus. As we can go nuts and every one supports you. hahahahahaha 🙂 👍
Just ask Choppa Nutta. !
He set the standard for us all when it comes to 'unusual'. 😉 😉 😉
Bart Goesaert nice work on the lighting of the engine. Looking good in metal, but no titanium colors?

Yavuz Engin Thank you for your comments Bart. For the time being I only use Vallejo 77.702 Duraluminium on vertical fin and some aft panels. May be I can add some titanium after black sections completion.

Yavuz Engin @Treehugger finally decals are set. In my opinion they look fine on metal look scheme.
Yavuz Engin Tamiya panel line accent Color black was used for some panels. Oil paints were used for weathering.
Next will be stand and it will be released in separate album as well as final result.

Skyhiker Did the model master clear coat effect the sheen of the metal?

Yavuz Engin It remains as it is mate. Metallic paints seem like with out sealer. This was my first time working with Model Master Sealer and surprisingly it worked well with XF-85 as well. It also protects the paint against masking tape very well. I am fully satisfied and happy with this sealer.
