Nick DragoneCan anyone share a fast, and easy way to apply a bare metal finish on airplanes ? Over the years I think I have tried everything with decent results but nothing like I see on posts or in magazines. I really would like to stick with acrylics since they are less toxic, especially with aluminum colors etc..Would appreciate any advice. Thanks !

AugieSo there is an alternative that you could give a try. Its what I use on mine and I've had pretty decent results.
Its Wax Gilt, amazon.co.uk/Treasur..ng-Wax/dp/B00HVUTMH4
Its expensive, but goes so far its not that bad.
These were done with it

Apply direct to the plastic with a soft brush and after about 15 mins, lightly buff it.

bughunterAs Augie mentioned wax: there are also some wax metal tones available as "AK True Metal" e.g. steel, alu, dark alu, silver, gun metal, copper, ....
I own dark alu, but not much experience yet (only used on a little part).

Nick DragoneMaking progress, but let's just say this isn't a Tamiya kit. The fit is fair and the engineering to raise and lower the gun is overly complicated and ultimately I had to decide on a fixed position. Not a big deal and it's all a part of the modeling process but there is a reason why Tamiya kits are expensive ! Onward !
