I wanted to add a few rivets...
![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/1/4/8/486148-12802-77-720.jpg)
...it's a lot more work than I thought

Today, I painted the parts of the intake...
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/3/9/4/486394-12802-69-720.jpg)
...and assembled the exhaust parts as well. The nose got a weight of 4g lead.

there are enough rivets on the wings, now.

the first airbrush session is over...
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/9/2/0/489920-12802-89-720.jpg)
...I used Vallejo Metalcolor. Some different shades will follow.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/6/1/6/490616-12802-63-720.jpg)
a few metal shades later...
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/6/1/7/490617-12802-45-720.jpg)
..the underside is complete.
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/8/1/9/490819-12802-73-720.jpg)
the top side is painted with Vallejo 71.013+71.324 (50%/50%)

At first I used the Vallejo black gloss primer. After that, I sprayed Vallejo Metal Aluminium in different thickness. The next shades will be mixed from Aluminium, Jet Exhaust and Chrome. I sealed the paint with the Vallejo Metal Varnish.

Great job ! Rivets all more than welcome on any EE Lightning. I'm doing the same thing on my Sword model. Cheers.
