Uh...Yeah. Soviet. Real basic; off-the-box-top. I think it has a red lightning bolt for the tail fin.

I haven't done an all-metal finish, yet.

What will you be using for the metal finish? Alclad? Foil? Paint? There are quite a few folks here who can give you some guidance. Feel free to ask! 🙂

I'll probably be using standard enamel paint. I have noticed the variations of tinting in panels on all-metal finishes. I'm assuming this can be done with various tints of 'silver' metals...aluminum, steel, and the like, with additional variations obtained by mixing in black? Do I want or need to be doing anything like that? There seem to be some wonderous hobbyists with Russian craft interests, that's for sure.
